Thinking Back - Childhood Thoughts
My first memory is of a little, yellow house,
Just a few blocks away from the school playground.
I was only three or four, so whenever I’d go out
One of my older brothers would have to be around.
Soon, we moved to a huge house in another small town.
If I had to, I could rebuild that house from memory.
I think about those days when I’m feeling a little down
And people like my babysitters, Dena and Kathy.
I remember old-man Butch, who only had one eye,
And my best friend Chad who shared my birthday.
There was my brother’s friend Michael, who was a little bit shy.
And the twins, Doug and Jeff, were always ready to play.
