Those Days Are Gone When I was young and days were fun, when yesterdays faded fast, today is all there was, and tomorrow was something for adults, I never dreamed I'd have to face reality. When girlfriend prayers were most important, church was a social event, soft-drinks were better than beer, and dancing in the grass on summer nights was life itself, When days at the beach, drive-in dates, Frost Top's juke box and holding hands made days complete, I never thought there'd be more than that… When boyhood ended, girls became women, graduation was over, Frost-top closed it's doors and tomorrow had come… Those days were gone. Memories of a past that was life itself, of a time that was idyllic and free, dreams of the child inside of me. W. James Beard, Jr. |

I think everyone goes through something like this at one point or another in their life, realizing that childhood has truly passed. But, no one said that you couldn't relive it in your dreams and memories once in a while, right....? Excellent work here; I loved the images you brought up. Bobbycat =^..^= |

I'm always thinking about my childhood too. You've really taken me back although I'm still a kid at heart. Peace. ACT. |
