It seemed like only yesterday
We were standing on those steps.
The steps to the pool we had in Pennsylvania.
We were so young,
You must have been about seven,
Which would have made me five.
So innocent and carefree,
Our biggest worry…
Will the water be warm enough to swim?
Oh to go back,
Maybe not to that year,
But to that time.
Where we didn’t have the pressures
Of society, our family, or ourselves.
We are older now
And have certain responsibilities
And obligations to fulfill.
We have worked so hard
To get to this point.
Unfortunately for us,
We have even further to go.
But lets forget about all of that for now.
How warm is the pool?
