Old Friends

I still admire the old days
When we had no worries at all
No homework no drama
Just us playing, trying to ball
We would get mad, push, shove
Even though we would fight we knew it would be alright

But I figured it wouldn't last
I'm starting to forget about the times we had
everything just seems to be going bad
We used to dream about this
Growing older and older
But now all you give me is a cold shoulder.

We see each other all the time
But it’s like we're invisible to each other
We used to be like brothers
and just because we've moved on
doesn’t mean that i’m gone.

Thanks Mom

Sometimes I think back to my childhood
All those restless nights you spent
trying find a job to pay rent
and how even though money was tight
everything would be alright.
That's what you told me,
And I believed you
I thank you everyday for that.
You taught me all we need is a little faith,
a loving family
and a place to call home.
And that would lead you to a happy life
and even though many may have more money
none were as rich as me.
