7 To 10... Remember When? Poem by Heather Milks

Remember when you were a kid?
Somewhere between 7 and 10.
Do remember that far?

Remember when the things you thought about
were so small and simple?
When would the sun go down?
Wondering how long you have to play outside.
Where did you put your other shoe?
Not like you actually have to wear them.
What cartoons are on
and what kind of cereal you were gonna have for breakfast.

Remember riding your bike down a steep hill and feeling the wind
not thinking of when or how your gonna come to a stop.
Jumping into a pool and not even noticing how cold it is.
Remember playin in the dirt and not thinking
this is gonna get under my fingernails.
Remember taking a big drink of red kool aid
and not worrying about the mustache?
Rolling around in the grass.
Letting a freezy pop melt down you chin.
Remember that... do it now and then
No matter how old you are
spend a day in bare feet, roll around in the yard
Let the freezy pop melt down your chin.
Get the koolaid smile and don't even stress it...
Its good for the soul!
