The Ok Times 1-8

4 years of happiness
Not really bliss
But something between

I had friends 
Church friends
School friends

I lead a youth group
People showed up
It was fun

Church coffee shop
Everybody loved us
Even the grumps

Childcare
I met young parents
I watched their kids

Hope and expectation
I was meeting my goals
I was living

Groups at the library
For young folk like me
Everybody was hopeful

It's no wonder so many
Remember so fondly
The years of positivity
When people had hope instead of expectations
Joy at the smaller accomplishments
And forgiveness for your failures
