Save the Best for Last

As a child I loved to play, skipping rope, jacks, shooting marbles in the grass

My first love was Rick, he was one year older than me, I was shy, but we smiled alot

I was only thirteen, we would play hide and seek, and baseball games in the neighbors yard

Bicycled, blocks away, to the penny candy store, catching grasshoppers, in the day

Lightening bugs in the night, they would twinkle on and off, then we would let them fly free

We shared an ice cream cone one time, and you saved the best for last, just for me

The crunchy part, with the last of the cream in the bottom, it really meant a lot

Now, I just reminisce of the younger days, of you and me, I wonder where you are right now

Maybe, you are thinking the same, who knows, we might catch up, where we left off

I hope you will save the best for last, the best of you for me
