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 3/17/05 Copyright BLJarrell 2005 |
