The 80's Child
May 7, 2024
A child outdoors happy and free
laughing and playing
No troubles to foresee
Bumped heads and scraped knees
Came from jumping walls
And climbing trees
playing out from day to night
Laughing and joking
Under stars shimmering bright
Skipping ropes, manhunt, Off ground tick

you had to be quick,
and the most dangerous game of all red rover
Endless games
Summer time shade
Never wanting the day to fade
Why did I have to grow older?
Hide and seek with that one kid that always cheats
Skipping stones, banging bones
Long summer walks that lasted forever
Gorgeous weather
Following rainbows and chasing dreams
The sound of summertime laughter and excited screams
