Those were the Wonder Years

poem

I am not talking about the television shows of the same name. I was born in the sixties and grew up in the seventies.

W is for the work we had to do.

O is for the opportunity to learn.

N is for nurturing that we received as we grew.

D is for the dedication of all around us.

E is for all the examples that were around us growing up.

R is for the rules we were to follow.

Y is for the years of growing physically and emotionally.

E is for all the energy that we had.

A is for the activities that we did the good and the bad.

R is for reassurances that we received from all around us.

S is for the safety and security that we felt by all around us.
