Ever think back and miss
those innocent days
when running in the rain
was part of our childish ways

When twirling in the air
or building castles in the sand
was considered by many
to be just grand

When playing around
with friends in the park
was always accompanied
by your best friend's bark

When dad was your hero
and mom handed out kisses,
hugged you for hours
and made true all your wishes.
