A generous gift of childhood
When geography is the catalyst
And willingness, the main ingredient...
A simpler day when friends were found
just outside the front door,
and play meant all afternoon
until the summer sun sinks behind the far far away...
So go ahead, put on your dragon cape,
wear your tiger skin, and don't forget your tail.
Play all day if you like.
I'll be right here watching,
wondering about my own instant friendships
that existed long ago...
And one more thing!!
