boys life
we ran like young wild furies
where angels feared to tread.
the woods were dark and deep.
before us demons fled.
we checked coke bottle bottoms
to see how far was far.
our worlds of magic wonder
were never reached by car.
we loved our dogs like brothers
our bikes like rocket ships
we were going to the stars,
to mars we'd make round trips
we swung on vines like tarzan,
and flashed zorro's keen blade
we were james bond in his aston
we were hercules unchained
we looked upon the future
and we saw a distant land,
where our folks were always ageless
and time was shifting sand.
we filled up life with living,
with grins, scabbed knees, and noise.
in glass i see an older man,
but this book is for the boys
where angels feared to tread.
the woods were dark and deep.
before us demons fled.
we checked coke bottle bottoms
to see how far was far.
our worlds of magic wonder
were never reached by car.
we loved our dogs like brothers
our bikes like rocket ships
we were going to the stars,
to mars we'd make round trips
we swung on vines like tarzan,
and flashed zorro's keen blade
we were james bond in his aston
we were hercules unchained
we looked upon the future
and we saw a distant land,
where our folks were always ageless
and time was shifting sand.
we filled up life with living,
with grins, scabbed knees, and noise.
