Call back these years of knickered knees
And every rainbow born of these
Of sun bleached shores and heat parched haze
When denim skies in hush did laze

Call back these dreams of pony tails
And painted bright of sunny sails
Of these to savor far and wide
When tag was taught in seek and hide

Call back these times of snow cone smiles
And every childhood laugh beguiles
Of skipping ropes and sunsets red
By hand these years when called be led
