And with all our progress,
don't you just wish, just once,
you could slip back in time and savor
the slower pace, and share it
with the children of today.
When being sent to the principal's office
was nothing compared to the fate
that awaited the student at home?
Basically we were in fear for our lives,
but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings,
drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents
were a much bigger threat! But we survived
because their love was greater than the threat.
