5th Grade Crush

Strange, 
But I've seen you
Everywhere lately. 

Caramel colored
Girls, either you
or your daughter.

I'm not quite
Sure. 

But I laugh inside. 

The Challenger may 
Have exploded, but 
We didn't.

The cassette tapes
May have been lost. 

But not the smiles, 
the cupcakes, 
the ruler, 
and what was most important.
