a glimpse into this brain of mine

childhood

Holding hands and crossing streets
Messy eating and napkin wiping
Bedtime stories and being tucked in
Crayons and colored walls
Jump ropes and skinned knees
Bubble baths and hooded towels
Pinched cheeks and overzealous family
Chalk dust fights and eraser battles
This was my childhood
Unplug the charger
Turn off the TV
Turn off the iPad
Pull out an album
Of your own childhood
And
take
a
long
hard
Look
At who you've become
