My Lucky Life

 

I had very few rules when growing up,

 I could stay out after dark.

My parents always trusted my friends,

Ignoring the strangers in the park.

 

I picked the schools I wanted,

Choosing the subjects I wanted to learn…

Team sports were Democratic,

Every ten times it was my turn.

 

I could move anywhere I wanted to live,

Near the deserts or the beach.

Any town or opportunity was

Always well within my reach.

 

My life from childhood to adulthood,

From the day my life had begun,

My two requirements were the “F” words,

Total Freedom and infinite Fun. 

 

Now that I’ve entered my 70’s,

Celebrating my lucky charms…

I remember friend’s parents and my parents friends,

 With tattooed numbers on their arms.
