Way Back When

I thought I was in love On that midsummers day When a close friend of mine Called for me, to come and play I remember it so well Just like it happened yesterday Some memories still linger While others, fade away My friend had a neighbor Bad-mitten was the game And quickly introduced the girl by mentioning her name She was an angel and a demon That stole my heart away When I first looked at her There was nothing I could say So speechless I continued Too scared to make my play And when the game was over She skipped along her way I offend think about her And the things that might have been But truly I am blessed Beyond those days of 'Way Back When'

Thank you Kim, Sometimes its seems to be difficult to come up with a theme to write about---until you look back at your life---I just don't do it very often---I don't want to get into a rut. Thanks again....
