Remember When

Remember when we prayed for snow To call off school, stay at home And woke to see the covered roads A wish that came within the night A blanket of inviting white That calls to every inner child Who wants to have a snowball fight And build a snowman with a smile Of twigs and coal to give him life Remember when we prayed for spring That brought the sun with longer days That warmed the grass beneath our feet While voices laughed as best friends played Till clouds rolled by and showers came Then stepped in puddles in the rain As life were lived without a care Too young to know of just how rare Are memories of time and friends Remember when, We thought these days would never end Kevin D.
