Let me remember the water splashing on my face as I went down the slide.

The giant corndogs that tasted oh so good.

The sand in between my feet’s fingers,

The bright sun on my small face.

Then take me back to the garage

Where I waited for my sister

I was there hours, only 3 years old.

Eagerly waiting to carry the newborn family member.

Much simpler times

Eating those tacos de frijol in the family table

Everyone together, every sunday morning.

Playing Mario Kart and watching Spongebob with my brother.

The days when we only had one dog, the best dog.

Let me go back just for a second

To my old school

That rich jungle-like campus

With trees and leaves, it almost felt made up

The old desks,

The good food

Those lime popsicles and tasty barbacoa.

Ahhh, it seems so perfect.

Back to the days of Sunny D juice

And good old cartoons.

Those LEGO filled christmases

Everything

Just smiles.

All smiles.

All and all, much simpler times.
