Sit back for a moment and recall bygone days of youth
Nothing meant more than sun in the sky and dirt on the ground
In trees, fields and streams were true treasures found
And when the evening sun vanished below the horizon,
The moon and stars appeared as the long night had begun
While creation rested to gain strength for another day,
Children dreamed all night of the next morning for play
And after dawn when to the birds' songs they would awake,
Off again to the trees, streams, and fields would they take
