| Grass stained knees and dandelion bouquets Do you remember? Twirling round and round Rolling down a backyard hill Picking dandelions and watching Bugs under a rock ...tasting sour Grass as you laid back and Watched jet clouds over head. Do you remember playing baseball, With a ghost runner? I remember Summer nights catching lighting Bugs by the dozen. Weekends meant Barbeques with the neighbors. Watermelon Seed spitting contest. Do you remember your first lemonade stand? Smell of fresh mowed grass. The sting of a Willow tree lash. Nightly hide -n-seek games And what about those bananas seat bikes? What ever happen too those grass stained knees Whatever happens too snowmen and snowball Fights? Where did backyard baseball go? Hot wheel races? Sadly the been replaced with TV and computers And over priced sports leagues. Children today Will never understand the simple joys of yesteryears. So goodbye grass stained knees and dandelion bouquets. snowcones and four leaf clover hunts say good-bye too sunday dinners at grandma's with aunts and uncles and cousins too say good bye to traditions one last time..for they are gone and been misplaced..
