When boys meant "yuck"
and friends were new
dreams unshattered,
and worries few
When recess was too short
And life too long,
Decisions came easy
With out the need to belong.
When storks delivered babies
And passions weren't so stron,
Friendships were unbroken,
Right was right, and wrong was wrong.
When bad things didn't happen,
When only skinned knees brought tears,
And the nightlight in its socket quieted all our fears.
When farewell meant just for summer
Real friends did not part,
The fun went on forever
And never left a broken heart.
Take me Back
