I Miss...
When boys meant yuck When friends were new,
dreams were unshattered
and worries few
When recess was too short
and life too long
decisions came easily
without need to belong.
When storks delivered babies
and passions weren't so strong
friendships were unbroken
right was right, wrong was wrong.
When bad things didn't happen
when only skinned knees brought tears
and the night light in its socket
quieted all our fears
When farewell meant just for summer
and real friends didn't part
the fun went on forever
and never left a broken heart
