Arthur Reed, Age 5

Enjoy!

—

“Listen to my story, listen to my rhyme

For once upon a simple time

There lived a boy who loved to play

And laughter and cheer was all he’d say

For that boy is me and I was him

Back before the world got grim

But that is not now nor is it then

When I had a mother called Rose and a father called Ben

For now let me enjoy the life of a child

In Ohio where winters are strong and summers are mild

There is joy to be found in the simplest of things

Not in fancy cars or gaudy rings

So remember your inner child so lost

And remember that adulthood has a steep cost

So from all worries and fears be freed

As you listen to the tale of Arthur Reed!”
