This always seems to happen to us all when we grow up from our youth

Our mind begins to get cluttered with life and that’s the unfortunate truth

When we were young and we were carefree, we had experiences beyond belief

Our problems that came to us each day were minor and most were very brief

The biggest issue that we faced were a skinned knee or maybe flat tire on our bike

Or maybe having to build up nerve to call the girl in our class that we really liked

But as we grow older and into adults and we struggle through our daily grind

We need to just slow down a little and remember our youth, and times we left behind

 

As I witnessed the smile of joy today on my granddaughter’s face as it beamed

There couldn’t be a better time for them than there with Dad, eating ice cream truck ice cream

So, take a little time each day to reminisce about your youth and maybe with a little luck

You again, may enjoy the sounds and flavors of your childhood at an ice cream truck
