Childhood of Dreams

Growing up, thought it was normal

Thought it was what everyone had

Never neglected, always supported

I owe so much to my mom and dad

Had boundaries but freedom

Space to allow me to grow

Innocence from wrong from right

Carried that happy go lucky glow

Given experience in travel and sports

Learned to play on a team

Give your all for the greater good

Built up my self esteem

Never heard them argue

Never heard them fight

They had their disagreements

But didn't matter who was right

Best friends for almost 60 years

Always relied on each other

Dad thought he was the smarter one

But I know I it was my mother
