Some candy from my Popeye Pez
A game of Simon says
Hopscotch and jumprope
Gave way to the Greatest of
Hope
My Sandbox
Fox in Sox
or Green eggs and Ham
A child of the 70s I am
I can remember chasing my
dog in my backyard
with my hose
Gleefully Spot jumping up
and licking the water from my nose
Oh where oh where did the hours go ?
After school we would explore adventure and
safely roam
knowing that our Moms were all
awaiting our arrival home
We had trees to climb
We laughed we whined
And in time
Mom or Grandma would call
We'd leave the game or
stop playing ball
and fall
Into our home
Dinner always a sacred event
We held hands said grace and reflected
on another day spent
Some days were just heaven sent
Perhaps some black and white TV in the eve
A game of Sorry or make believe
And then prayers next to our bed
Elder next to us as we knelt
Yes it was a time in my life
when my
heart still felt .
