Dreams were unshattered,
And worries were a few.
When recess was to short,
And life was to long,
When decisions came easily,
With no need to belong.
When storks delivered babies,
Only skinned knees brought tears,
The night-light in our rooms,
Quieted all our fears.
When chocolate milk was good,
And passions weren't so strong,
Closet monsters were scary,
Right was right and wrong was wrong.
When all things were solved,
By 'eni meni miny mo'
When boys were so yucky,
And goodbye meant till tomorrow.
When imaginary friends,
Were as real as you and me,
When horrible things of the world today,
Were things we did not see.
When our clothes didn't match,
And real friends didn't part,
The fun went on forever,
And no one hade a BROKEN HEART
