built a strip mall
the pasture paved
since early fall
where I rode my bike
when I was a kid
has 12 foot walls
and is well hid
nature's wonders
has a fee
you now pay for
what was free
the roller rink
is now long gone
no longer music
or our fave song
Stockdale road where
I raced my Chevy
water all gone
from the deep levy
days of youth
a memory
hangs thick today
in my sensory
Friday dates
and football games
many friends with
forgotten names
days of wonder
long ago
wish I knew then
what I now know
