*****
i m i s s t he o l d
days
when decisions were made by
'eeny meeny miney mo'.
boys had cooties.
playtime was too short.
life was too long.
only skinned knees brought tears.
goodbye's only meant until tomorrow.
your clothes didn't need to match.
the only race issues where who ran faster.
no one ever broke a pinkie promise.
it wasn't awkward to suck a lollipop.
the only thing you smoked was candy sticks.
your mom was your idol.
the only thing that could get broken were your
toys.
there wasn't a care in the
world.
