poem 42

"Childhood"

Remember when you woke up early and went to bed early,
You played all day long in the sandbox,
Eating grilled cheese for lunch without even leaving the game.
Colorful band-aids for all of life's little boo-boos,
With kisses from Mom to make everything feel better.
Before you learned how to write complex sentences,
Or do calculus for early morning tests,
You got to finger paint and make macaroni necklaces.
