We used to Imagine things... You and I and the kids down the street We used to ring doorbells and scrape knees and look for treasures in the backyard We would eat dinner with only the lights on and talk about how good the potatoes were We would tell stories run barefoot and catch lightning bugs in a big glass jar remember jumping in leaves? rolling up snowmen? and looking forward to the sweet smell of summer? I remember. We were young it was easy it's not so easy anymore.

We used to Imagine things... You and I and the kids down the street We used to ring doorbells and scrape knees and look for treasures in the backyard We would eat dinner with only the lights on and talk about how good the potatoes were We would tell stories run barefoot and catch lightning bugs in a big glass jar remember jumping in leaves? rolling up snowmen? and looking forward to the sweet smell of summer? I remember. We were young it was easy it's not so easy anymore.
Remembering the simplicity of childhood, both for myself and our generation as a whole.
