Family and Friends

sand box friends , schools yard chases , society separate's us 
                   but still I wonder , how are you? and where you are?
 
                   morning race's against first period bells now replaced with a 
                   nine to five morning alarm.
               
                 maturity crept in through the back door and now he is forever our guest.
                   boys to men , women to mothers , was once sisters and brothers 
                   so your faces  how could I ever forget?

                    classroom walls came down .... while chalkboard knowledge became a 
                     window to the real world.

                  could remember mommy making morning breakfast for me now I stand 
                     in the same kitchen  repeating history to my very own little girl.

                   the sun will always go down......the moon will always rise.
         
                time will always separate us , a cycle we recycle called life but to these
               familiar faces in memories, I could never say goodbye.
