I wish I could go back in time
To hear Mom tell me a nursery rhyme
To sit on the floor and play with my toys
To watch my big brother play with the other little boys
To pet my first puppy on its fluffy little head
To watch the Lightning-Bugs in a jar as I lied in bed
To run through a sprinkler, on a hot summer's day
To get up from a nap and then go out to play
To build a kite with a friend,
and watch it begin to fly
To see the Big Dipper as I'd
gaze into the sky
To leave for first grade,
wondering what it'd be like
To put a new Banana seat on
my first little bike
And if I could go back in time
I'd stop my Mom in the middle of her rhyme
And tell her what I didn't know then
Just how much I love her and
that she's my best friend
