There was a time when the world was enormous: spanning the vast, almost infinite boundaries of your neighborhood. The place where you grew up, where you didn’t think twice about playing on someone else’s lawn. The street was your territory that occasionally got invaded by a passing car. It was where you didn’t get called home until after it was dark. And all the people, and all the houses that surrounded you were as familiar as the things in your own room
Then life happened
We grew up
Got smart
Grew our hair
Moved away
Got poorer
The sandbox. . .like the park . .further the swings . .
Well we just stopped being grateful for them
Called it growing up
Forget Jesus . .
Became busy . Unhappy
Forgot the friendship meaning
Got fatter
More intelligent
Moved even further away
Got sad
Lost our faith
Doesn't have to be that way
Keep the faith
Grow develop smile build sandcastles
Swim
Dance
