Back when life was good

Sometimes I would wish things would be like they used to.

Like when lemonade was freshly squeezed

instead of Koolaid packets from Walmart.

back when singing was using a hairbrush for a microphone.

And being a super here was putting a blanket around your neck,

jumping off the couch.

Back when train rides were lining up chairs.

Back when camping out was making a fort in the living room.

Back when Dad took you hunting and

Mom took you shopping.

Back when getting lost in the mall

meant you got to run around and do what you wanted.

Back when you were sad meant get some hot cocoa and a good book.

Back when family time meant

playing monopoly.

Back when a break up meant

eating junk food and watching tv all night.

Back when life was good.
