Climbing Up, Falling Down

I’m too old to be climbing trees, but I miss it. I remember grasping the next rough branch, then the next, and the next until I reached the top. I also remember grabbing the wrong limb, getting knocked out on the way down, and waking up, surrounded by concerned faces, in the middle of an old truck tire. Even so, I still miss climbing trees.
