these years.

Laying in the grass
Playing dizzy dollys
We fall to the ground
Fits of laughter
Climbing over walls
Crawling through bushes
Running from the farmer
Jumping for joy as we push the limits
These years I missed
So I live them now
Coming home with grass stains
Because she wouldn’t let go
Sitting on the swing
So high off the ground

Falling down
Grazing knees
Climbing over the bar
I’m too tall to crawl under
Rolling down the hill
Losing ourselves in the fun


These times I’ll take for granted
But I'll never forget
Shouting ‘catch me’
When going down the slide

Living life as it comes
Savor every breath

Rock out at Church
Wear odd shoe laces
Steal all the covers
Scream at the bugs
Jump on friends
Despite what people say
Say thanks for what you have
Stand on your tippy toes
Try to touch the sky
Watch the stars at night
Time passing you by
Never forget these years
You’ll never get them back
They are the best
With the best of friends

Make the most of what you’ve got
Don't let it get away
Let yourself go
Don't be scared
Be a kid while you can!
