I WAS TEN AND SHE WAS NINE

by Gene Minix

Like little lanterns in the night
The lighting bugs shined their lights
Across the yard 'neath the pines
And over by the ivy vines.
With the going down of the sun
We chased them in fun.
She and I, what a time.
I was ten and she was nine.
I still remember those days
And the Georgia nights we played.
Chasing lighting bugs back then
Until our Moms called us in.
And we said good-night,
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Tomorrow I'll see you again
And we both trotted in.

Sixty years ago but, sometimes at night
When I turn out the light.
Again I recall those times.
When I was ten and she was nine
Summertime and life was fine
When I was ten and she was mine.
And I wonder where she might be
And if she ever thinks of me?
Yes,I wonder where she might be
And if she ever thinks of me?
And if she ever recalls the time
When I was ten and she was nine?
