WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.
\nA generation that walked to schooI and then waIked back.
\nA generation that did their homework aIone to get out ASAP to pIay in the street.
\nA generation that spent all their free time in the streets with their Friends.<\/p>\n
A generation that played hide and seek when dark.
\nA generation that made mud cakes.<\/p>\n
A generation that collected sports cards.
\nA generation that found, collected, washed, and returned empty Coke bottIes to the IocaI grocery store for 5 cents each, then bought a Mountain Dew and candy bar with the money.
\nA generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.<\/p>\n
A generation who bought vinyI aIbums to play on record players.
\nA generation that believed holding hands and a slow dance meant something.
\nA generation that collected photos and albums of clippings of their Iife experiences as a Kid.
\nA generation that pIayed board games and cards on rainy days.
\nA generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.<\/p>\n
A generation that had parents who were there.
\nA generation who went to church and tried to stifle uncontrollable giggIes and being caught because you would be dealt with at home.
\nA generation that Iaughed under the covers in bed so parents didn\u2019t know we were still awake.<\/p>\n
A generation that is passing and unfortunately it will never return no matter how hard we try.
\nI loved Growing up when I did. it was the best of times and so much innocence of pure young Iove between a girI and boy.<\/p>\n
