Barefoot Child

I remember summer fun as a child Going barefoot, running wild Catching fireflies in a jar Making a wish on a shooting star Skinny dipping in the creek Playing kick the can and hide-n-seek Riding a stick pony, with an old straw hat Major league ball with a broom stick bat Making pinkie promises with my friend Hoping summer would never end But all too soon the summer was gone And before I knew it, the years had flown Sometimes I wish I could have one day When all the years just melt away So I could go back then And be that barefoot child of ten
