Hopscotch,
Paper, rock,
Let me see you dance and hop.

Jump rope,
Don’t be scared,
Take a leap of faith and hope.

Hide and seek,
You can’t beat,
The tagging of the pointer thief.

Flip flops
And movie nights,
The fun adventures that never last.

Swimming pools,
Giant seas,
Engulfing my hands and feet.

Never
Let the
Older ways keep you from your Golden Days.
