Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground?
When protection meant wearing a helmet?
When the worst thing that you could get
from boys were cooties?
Dad's shoulders were the
highest place on earth
& mom was your hero?
Your worst enemies were your siblings?
Race issues were about
who ran the fastest?
War was only a card game?
The only drug you knew was
cough medicine?
Wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut?
The only thing that hurt were skinned
knees?
& we
couldn't
wait
to
grow
up.
