The Hill Roll

As an adult at the top of the hill,

I tried to remember the childhood thrill

you feel

rolling down so free.

I couldn't!

I had to relive it to see.


Rolling, rolling, round and round;

the speed you pick up omitting all sound.


Over and over!

Unable to stop!

Until the ground goes flat and there's no more drop.


When you reach the bottom,

the world keeps on spinning

and you tackle the climb back laughing and grinning.


Only to go and sit back at the start;

ready to roll again like a child at heart.
