Recollecting
Have you ever purposely driven through
the neighborhood in which you grew?
It's a funny feeling to allow,
going to then so far from now.
Your old house, the park, the school,
maybe the torn-down swimming pool,
the place where you got your first kiss,
the times when you saw nothing but this...
nothing else in the future day,
remember how the old folks used to say
"you don't know how good you got it"
oh society, and the rebel who fought it...
And you may have children of your own,
and they will be or are full grown,
they will drive through the old neighborhood
and realize too, they had it good...
and see this whole life thing wasn't a hoax,
one day
they'll say
"I sound just like my folks!"
