Remember When
dads shoulders were the highest place on earth,
and your mom was your one and only hero?
when the worst things you could get from boys were cooties,
and the only things that hurt you were skinned knees.
getting high meant swinging on the playground,
the only drug you knew was cough medicine,
race issues were about who ran the fastest,
when protection meant wearing a helmet,
goodbyes only meant until tomorrow,
wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut,
and war only was a card game?
and yet we couldn't wait to grow up.
