Of the Fields I've Crossed

As I reminisce,

Of the fields I've crossed,

Seems like it was yesterday,

In reflecting upon the past

Of the fields I've crossed--

My dog and I,

Enjoying the solitude,

Of a tranquil countryside.

It was a special time...

When I think

Of the fields I've crossed,

The rabbits I've chased,

And the fences I've slid under

To pursue my youthful curiosity.

It was a simple time, but a pleasant life.

I enjoyed the innocence of youth,

The life of a country boy

At peace with his surroundings.

When I think,

Of the fields I've crossed,

I thank God for the memories.

Maybe someday

I can do it again

Before the sun sets

On my horizon.

For now, pleasant memories

Of the fields I've crossed

Will always remain.

Can't you just picture this blond-haired country boy in coveralls running with his dog as he crossed the field on his way to his friend's home?
