When boys meant "yuck"
And friends were new,
Dreams were unshattered
And worries few.
When recess was too short
And life too long,
Decisions came easy
Without the need to belong.
When storks delivered babies
And passions weren't so strong,
Friendships were unbroken
Right was right and wrong was wrong.
When bad things didn't happen
And only skinned knees brought tears,
And the night-light in it's socket
Quieted all of our fears.
When farewell ment just for summer
And real friends didn't part,
And fun went on forever
And never left a broken heart.
