Childhood Whispers

In a world of whispers, where shadows play,
I found my refuge at the end of the day.
Beneath the old oak with branches wide,
My secret haven where dreams could hide.

A patch of soft moss, my throne of green,
Surrounded by wonders, a magical scene.
With laughter like echoes of time held still,
I wove my adventures with a heart full of thrill.

There, in the stillness, where sunlight would dance,
I’d lose myself deep in each fanciful glance.
A kingdom of make-believe, safe from the race,
Forever cherished, my childhood’s embrace.

Childhood Meal

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

The meal that always brings me back to my childhood whenever I eat it is carne asada, Mexican rice, and beans. I remember the family get-togethers in my grandparent’s backyard, the savory aroma of the carne asada sizzling on the grill, and the laughter of my cousins echoing through the air. The vibrant colors of the Mexican rice and the heartiness of the beans always made the meal feel like a fiesta. Those were the times when we would sit around the table, sharing stories and creating cherished memories.

Favorite Childhood books

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I remember “The Babysitters Club” by Ann M. Martin as my favorite book from childhood. This series was special to me because it revolved around a group of friends who started a babysitting business together. I loved how each book was filled with fun adventures and valuable life lessons. The characters felt so relatable, and I always looked forward to reading about their escapades.

My favorite character was Mary Anne, and I admired her gentle and caring nature. The stories taught me about friendship, responsibility, and problem-solving in a way that was entertaining and engaging. Overall, it was a series that left a lasting impression on me and one that I fondly remember to this day.
