Do You Remember When? Poem by mestup poems

Little girls and boys

Playing with imaginary toys

Waking up all warm and safe

With their innocence stored in faith

When moms and dads, they held us tight

They taught us love and not to fight

Where your world is a sand box, warm and gritty

And your first true love was a calico kitty

Untouched and pure

Kind and true

Where families held together and parents did too

Can you remember when, way back when?

When hearts weren’t shattered into pieces for sport

When lives again and again weren’t torn all apart

Where nothing could put them back together again

Not all the kings’ horses and all the kings’ men

Do you…. remember when?
