You’ll Find Your Childhood on the Side of the Road


There’s an optimistic day in March

When the weather is as warm as Summer

That brings back fond memories of things you have lost


As you drive along to your favorite songs

You notice a doge ball, weathered and torn

On an un-kept lawn.


Forgotten and abandoned, akin to your own childhood,

You pull over to retrieve this relic of your own innocence

And give it a home.


As the springtime summer breeze hits you again.

You carry the re-birth of your childhood happiness

And marvel at the fact that you found your childhood on the side of the road.
