Do You Remember

Do you remember?
Do you remember a time from the past?
When playtime was a time spent outdoors
Where imagination was the key
Where you could be anyone you wanted to be?

Do you remember a time from the past?
Where hours upon hours were spent
Playing with cars and trucks
You created a world all of your own.

Do you remember a time from the past?
When being dirty meant nothing much at all
But being covered with dirt and dust
From head to toe, and everywhere in between.

Do you remember a time from the past?
When friends were playmates
Whose friendship you shared
Because it was fun, just to be together.

Do you remember a time from the past?
Before you knew about sex
But that one special moment, first holding hands
Eventually became that first small kiss.

Do you remember a time from the past?
Where being at school was not such a chore
But learning to be creative
Painting a picture with only your fingers.

Do you remember a time from the past?
Maybe the first school dance
Where boys stood on one side
And girls on the other.

Do you remember a time from the past?
When your life was filled with innocence
When yes meant yes, and nothing more
Where there were no hidden agendas.

Do you remember a time from the past?
When an event changed you life
That innocence was gone
Do you remember?
