Once upon a time
In a place just down the street
Kids laughed and played
Held hands and kicked feet
Once upon a time
kids ate
watermelon
Spit out seeds
Soaked up sunshine, met
childhood needs
There was joy
There were bonds
Seeming to be
A deceptive strong
Laughter rang long
Life went on
People died
Folks got married
People cried
Life went on
Words were said
People danced and
Sang and bled
