REMEMBER WHEN

REMEMBER WHEN
getting HIGH meant swinging at a playground?
the worst thing you could get from a boy was COOTIES?
MOM was your hero
and DAD was the boy you were gonna marry?
when your W0RST ENEMIES were your siblings
and RACE ISSUES were about who ran fastest?
when WAR was a card game
and life was SIMPLE and CAREFREE?
remember when all you wanted to do
WAS GROW UP?

Quotes:

If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
