Time in life like this stands still
Anchored with those special frills
Jumping hopscotch singing songs
Happiness that just belongs

School is out and homework done
These the pleasures next to none
Having fun with your best friend
Hoping day will never end

Mother watching from inside
Filled with love and so much pride
So much pleasure in this time
It seemed less hurried and sublime

Close my eyes and take me there
Precious moments in life we share
So much glory in these days
All this love is still ablaze.
