Take me back to the time
when riding a bike
was the best thing
that I could learn from life.
Take me back to the place
where all I wanted was candy,
to watch my favorite cartoon show
and to sit in front of the TV.
Take me back to the time
when I played games under the sun,
when I didn't care how hot it was
because I only wanted to have fun.
Take me back to the place
full of merry-go-rounds,
a world of vibrant colors
and playful sounds.
Take me back to the time
when scientific calculators
and reams of newsprint
never even mattered.
Take me back to the place
where my heart never got broken,
where imagination soared high
and innocence was never stolen.
Take me back to the time
when I only knew of the truth.
Please take me back there
and bring me to my youth.
