Simplicity

Here's to the days when you became best friends because you had the same color shirt,
Happiness came in sunshine and blue skies,
Your biggest hero was your mom,
You thought you would never grow up, everything would always be bigger than you, the swimming pool was as big as the ocean and three scoops of ice cream made you sick.

Here's to the days when laughter came because a butterfly sat on your shoulder,
Tears came because you skinned your knee,
The scariest thing was the first day of school and your biggest worry was if you would make any friends,
Recess seem liked it would last forever and school was fun.

Here's to the days when honesty was the only way, never questioned, came easily, and didn't hurt,
Sadness disappeared in a rainbow or a kiss from your dog,
Life seemed like one big dream and you could be anything that you wanted,
Happily ever after really did exist.

Here's to the days when a hug from mom brought joy to your soul,
Jesus was always beside you and sometimes you could even see Him,
Conversations with God came easily and the answers came even easier,
Living the gospel was the simplest and most logical thing in the world.
