Childhood Haunts Keep Me Young

Escape the drab of a stress filled day.

Long ago in a time
I lost a piece of mind
It was in a place I no longer go
Felt the dream on out in the field
See the idea is it real
Sometimes I think I really should go
In the time that I have left
I will hold my breath every time
I see her in the sun
What would the child be if it were not for me
My life is just a silhouette of yester year
Slide the sled down the hill
If you like the feel do it in the last of day
I am whole again must have been the wind
That brought her smile my way
Feeling not as old listening to her story told
It really did happen that way
On stair case in the house it was not so
Long ago that when the light went dim
I told the wind of the glory found
In each line hide under the blanket flashlight in hand
I see whole clever plan
Read the story told watched as they grew old
And fought the demons by their side
All for one and one for all
We a team like no other I know
Captured bad guys by day, made love in the cool night
Won almost every fight, kept the white hat plumes and all
Old and wise the team still holds me tight when pressures of the day
Almost steal my life a way under blanket with a light
You will find me at night living every ounce of life
Making my children laugh can’t believe I still feel like that
They wish that they could be just like me.
