The days of childhood
past,
stretched endlessly.
We didn't care.

Summers of ice cream
and mischief.
Late nights and
fun.

Older eyes now take
the year as they find it;
glad for any time
to themselves.

Pressures of life,
family and
money takes its toll.
We now care to much.

We look back with
a glad mind.
Thankful that
time is kind to memories.
