The World I Had I want to live in the world I had Were I can run up the stairs three steps at a time Where there was no tree I could not climb I want to live in the world I had Where I could hit a ball make it soar Wrestle with friends all over the floor I want to live in the world I had 78 was the record of the day 25 cents is all you would pay I want to live in the world I had Greet the day with an adventure in your heart Punch ball was the game couldn't wait for it to start I want to live in the world I had Play in the rain like the Sun was shining Sit on a stoop eating a hero that's fine dining No no no I don't want that Where the heck is my mind at Where's my grandkids, my daughters, my wife Without them this is no life I watch grandkids get off to school everyday In the yard I watch them at play The barbecues, Sunday dinner, they would all go away No no no I need them to stay I realize now it's fun to wish for the past and each of life's phases are not meant to last Tony 5/15/22 O
Tony I just reread and realized that you wrote that poem. You're a very talented person, you could maybe do something with that.
