A tattered teddy
A button eye.
Symbols of our childhood.
As we look at the years gone by.

Things are so simple
when we are young.
Decisions are so few.
Will we play on the swing today?
I'm not "it", are you?

Let your kids be kids,
and stay young as long as they can.
They'll be older soon enough.
And have the weighty decisions of man.
