“Happy times come and go, but the best childhood memories stay forever.” — Anonymous

"How I wish the day longer, and summer

on the seashore and hills forevermore;

 and keep childhood in a land of fantasy,

 where life is carefree and truly happy." 

 - avr

 “Childhood memories are the sweetest memories of the past.” — Anonymous

 "My childhood friends - my brother and the sea,

a world complete, there'll never be like any;

 eternal it seems, though ephemeral as dawn,

  as I walk this way but once, but never alone."

- avr

“When we are old and failing, it is the memories of childhood which can be summoned most clearly.” — Dan Simmons

 "I catch the clouds in the wind blowing

  on my face and hair, cool and soothing.

  I wonder where have all the birds gone,

  from the blue sky before the day is done."

                        - avr

“Sometimes I wish I could go back to my childhood and capture all those happy memories.” — Anonymous

  

"In my sunset years, I have missed the sea,

    save the beautiful, sweet scenes of memory;

  every passing breeze carries an old melody,

    there by the sea - a happy boy that was me."

- avr

 "Every happy memory created in childhood is a treasure of time.” — Anonymous
