Whenever I think of the park in the community that I lived in when I was a child, I think of wrought iron benches. These practical objects have grown into icons of childhood play for me and my siblings. While there were plenty of other things to set our focus on in the playground, somehow the wrought iron benches always seemed to stand out.
I guess that it was due to the simple fact that the wrought iron benches in the park were so striking. The beautiful metal furniture seemed as if they had always been there and I’m sure that they still remain in the same place. The benches reminded me of another time and place depending on my interests at the time.
For example, when I was learning about Greek and Roman Mythology, I looked at the wrought iron benches as relics from this era. They would serve to be great seating for goddesses like me and my sisters while at play. As we grew, our interests changed so did the wrought iron benches in the park.
Soon we began reading stories about the Victorian Era and we soon began imagining ourselves in this place in time. The wrought iron benches suited our play perfectly considering their classic elegant style that fits perfectly into the Victorian mode. Of course, we grew out of this stage once Star Wars came out in theaters.
During the era of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back the wrought iron benches took on a whole new feel. We used them as seating for the cockpit of our spaceships and somehow the flexible wrought iron benches played along seamlessly. You would have never guessed that they had been used for ancient Greece in years past.
My experiences with the wrought iron benches have prompted me to find similar items for my own back yard. I know that this outdoor furniture will suit just about any style imaginable. After all, the wrought iron benches in the park have taken me from ancient Greece all the way to outer space.
I can only imagine where the wrought iron benches will take my own children in years to come. I guess that time will tell. Hopefully, my little ones will find these pieces of outdoor furniture as exciting and memorable as I did when I was a child. Who knows? Maybe they will get wrought iron benches of their own when they grow up.
