Past

When I was a child, Running free and wild The pines my favorite place to be. Days filled with fun, Enjoying the sun, Climbing each and every tree. The 60’s my decade, LP’s we played, So much fun, but serious too. Vietnam the war, Couldn’t keep score Of the young men we lost, quite a few. Then Woodstock happened. So close, just imagine Hendrix, Joplin on stage. Music all around, Awesome, freakin sound They would have gotten better with age. Memories we made, Friendships that stayed. To the future these things we bring. Just part of my youth. To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t change a thing.
