"i wish i was a kid again.
back to the little girl i was.
when climbing trees was a necessity
and boys were only good for catching cooties.
when scraped knees and grass stains were my worst fears.
when leigha's treehouse was shelter enough
and catching fireflies was an accomplishment.
when mom still tucked me in and read me bernstein bears or doctor suess.
when every sunday was dinner at mema's
and it was okay for her to love on me in public.
when an N was the worst grade I could get in school
and S was my favorite letter.
when owning 25 cents meant I was lucky
and a dollar meant I was rich.
when my feet didnt touch the ground on the swing sets
and daddy had to push me.
when laughing happened most often
and tears were only from rugburns and bug bites.
when bandaids made my boo boo's better
and kisses made EVERYTHING better.
when pinky promises were taken seriously
and the "cross my hearts" were honest.
when choosing was as easy as eenymeenyminymo.
and losing wasnt all that bad.
when dream catchers really worked.
and nightmares were simply monsters and dragons.
when nightlights were my comfort
and darkness was so scary.
when my stuffed bear kept all of my biggest secrets
and i could tell momma anything.
when reading books meant looking at neat pictures
and counting to 100 was a big deal.
when i didnt care how i sounded when i sang
and you better bet i woke the neighborhood with my songs.
when "Jesus Loves Me" was my favorite
and i never questioned it once.
when life was simple

those were the days
simplicity"
