Handprints on the sidewalk
reminding me
of innocence gone by.
Of melting icicles,
of giggling schoolgirls,
and of high school crushes.
Do you remember when
you went to your first class and
you met your very best friend?
You thought that
you would be
best friends forever and forever.
Do you remember that boy
that you thought you would die
if he did not notice you?
He was so cute that
you forgot to breath.
So, go out and
play a game of tag.
Stop and enjoy
the warmth of the summer sun.
And, last but not least,
place your handprints
on the sidewalk!
