Remember 86

okay, so I don't feel like writing right now. So I'm meeting you halfway. Here's something I wrote not that long ago about days long ago ...

Remember 86
Written by DAMON SMITH

Six years old, yeah I was still a shorty
But at recess, nobody dominated the court like me
All the girlies in my small world,
They loved my head’s every curl
In the classroom, my grades were trump tight
Forget moms, for me, I was doing things right
I didn’t care what anybody thought
My soul being bought,
Never in my mind, that thought crossed
I recall it like yesterday
Longing for days like that, I pray
Before I fall asleep
I wake to this reality
Trying to trump this fallacy
Wishing these memories I could keep …
Throughout the day

Remember 86
A feeling just like this
Wishing you could do more than reminisce
Days like that were meant for Heaven’s bliss

Do you Remember 86
Those days, I really miss
No worries, No real cares
Just real love filling the atmosphere

He-Man and G.I. Joe’s, were my heroes
Transformers and Voltron, toys I loved to control
Never thought those things could get old
But another promise lay ahead
Even with the strife, loving with a purpose,
Knowing the lessons taught, can be all-purpose,
But only if you attempt to get off the surface
Will you ever learn to break bread
I remember it like yesterday
Longing for days like that, I pray
Each day I wake in the morn
Sometimes, I wish I could go back
With no worries, there was nothing I lacked
I can’t, but the memory, I’ll adorn
Throughout the day…

Remember 86
I know I’d never forget
Wishing you could do more than reminisce
Days like that were meant for Heaven’s bliss

Do you Remember 86
Those days, I really miss
No worries, No real cares
Just real love filling the atmosphere

Michael hadn’t come into his own
The other Michael had already claimed his throne
Moms wouldn’t even let me talk on the phone
You couldn’t sand the thoughts away with emery
The squad had just won the series
Doogie Howser was preparing to get his M.D.
There’s no other place I’d rather be
Than trapped inside those memories
