As happy swing-set riders
join the skating board sliders
the more affluent children
rode on the Merry-Go-Round.
With scraped shins and scratched up knees
we would climb the tallest trees
and dirty our new sneakers
playing on the muddy ground.
We'd build castles in the sand
with plastic buckets in hand,
a league of superheroes
that dreamed of becoming kings.
Swapping marbles made of glass
we'd form whistles out of grass,
and drank gallons of Kool-Aid
while doing summery things.
Jeans covered in green grass stains
we'd walk the tracks between trains,
and often, we'd go fishing
in the large pond in the park.
We'd get bronzed from the sun
running around having fun
and playing hide-and-go-seek
till it started to get dark.
