Red Bikes and Blue Balloons Eating sand from the beach, drinking kool-aid all day. Listening to �Bullfrogs and Butterflies� play. Playing �Cops and Robbers� all through the night, And hearing mom yell �Please don�t fight!� Being 9 is what I�m living life for. Nothing now is ever a bore. When you�re old, life seems so short. Let�s run away and build a fort. There�s plenty to worry and plenty to do. I fell like a kid ever since I met you. Goofing around makes me feel so alive, You�re giving me memories of summer �95. Grilled cheese and hot dogs, my favourite meal. Bloody noses were such a big deal. Holding your hand as I cross the street, Then waking up to realize it�s all just a dream. Benjamin A. Page
