Remember?

June 2007

Remember the days when it did not matter to be lost?

We could run wild and free and there was not a cost.

All our dreams bigger than we could keep.

They would live forever, in color, in our sleep.

We could be anything, we could do it all.

It did not matter what we wanted,

We could stand tall and never fall.

Back then there was school, parties, games and best friend.

It seemed that the fun would never end.

Then we grew up, holding up our defenses.

Trying to run wildly, running into fences.

Cages around our hopes and dreams.

Hearts broken and ripped right down the seams.

Other people saying that we cannot choose,

because they think the path we want to take will lose.

Then there came jobs so we could make money.

We had to learn there is a time to be serious and a time to be funny.

We learned lessons in life that are not taught in school,

and we learned that families can be so un-cool.

Then we graduated and went on our ways.

Busy became the rest of our days.

Best friends that we had through school move on,

and we learn to cope once they are gone.

On days like this we sit back and remember,

Days gone by that we wish could have lasted forever.
