Long Time Ago Poem by Jeff Lee

Long time ago, there was a boy;
a boy who played and slept like any other boys
One day, he came marching into school
just like any other boys.
His tattered jacket rippled through the wind.
They just stood by. His papers flew away,
they just stood by. When a teacher came to help
they just stood by. They are no longer boys.

Long time ago, there was a girl,
a girl who played and slept just like any other girls.
One day, she came marching into the school;
with her shiny dress flattering by.
They greeted her with a bright smile.
When her papers escape her arms, they
came into help. They are no longer girls.

Today, they come marching in school to find
each other in greetings and happiness.
One boy lost its way, yet the other girl
lived her best lives; So what is the difference,
or should I ask, is it really a long time ago?
