remember when ...

getting high only meant swinging on the playground

when protection meant wearing a helmet

the worst things you could get from guys

was the cooties

and the worst from girls was the cold

when mom was your hero and best friend

and dads shoulder were the highest place on earth

your worst enemies were your siblings

and race issues were about who could run the fastest

war was only a card game

the only drug you knew were cough medicines

wearing a short skirt didn't mean you were a slut

the only thing you smoke were the tires on your bike

the only things that hurt that were your skined knees

the only things that got broken were your toys

and good-byes were only till tomorrow

..........remember
