To ride a bike To run wild and free To play hopscotch and marbles outdoors in the sun To laugh and run To eat Jamaica *** and Raisin chocolate on a Saturday night To wait up late to watch a man walk on the moon To hide behind the settee when Dr Who comes on the T.V To climb trees To watch cricket played in the park To roller skate To swing as high as the cross bar To grow your hair as long as your knees To try and get it to curl with rags in your hair, desperately To have your family motorbike and sidecar towed home by a taxi To run on the sand To watch the Royal Marines marching band To swim in the sea To walk on the moors To be free to explore
And some people don't and that's okay. These experiences are unique to me. Allowed by my parents to play wild and free. Free of the shackles, growing up with epilepsy.
