CHILDHOOD

Childhood
Remember!
Little girls and boys playing with imaginary toys.
Waking up all warm and safe with their innocence stored in faith.
When, Moms and Dads they held us tight.
They taught us love and not to fight.
Where the world's a sandbox warm and gritty.
Your first true love was …a calico kitty.
Untouched and pure, kind and true.
Where families held together and the parents did too.
Can you remember way back when?
When hearts were not shattered into pieces for sport.
When lives again and again weren’t torn all apart.
Where nothing could put them back together again.
Not all the king's horses and all the king's men.
Can you remember when?
