Days Gone By


A warm summer evening in July
Nothing but a bazillion stars in the sky
Friday night spent shooting the loop
Eight of us girls loaded in the coupe

Memories streaming through my brain
Events in my youth leaving a stain
School, sports and Saturday night dates
Afraid of falling my first time on skates

Going to dances, movies and the mall
Learning to drive without causing the car to stall
Motorcycle rides on Sunday afternoon
Canoeing on the Mohican in late June

So many fond memories crowded in my head
Sewing a pattern using fine thread
Days of catching lightning bugs in a jar
Playing kick the can until we saw the first star

Trips to the beach with the whole gang in tow
Tag, volleyball and Frisbees to throw
Happy memories bring tears to my eye
Sweet visions of all my days gone by
