Taking a Walk Back in Time

TAKING A WALK BACK IN TIME

I took a walk back in time today

On the Santa Cruz Boardwalk

I visited the "fun" places of my youth,

Where the rides are there for fun and shock!

When I think back to those carefree days,

The dreams of a child become an adults worse fears!!!....,

Specially when the music of the Merry-go-round,

Is drowned out by the screams and cheers.

The Big Dipper (rollercoaster) didn't seem as tall

As it did when I was a child.

The funhouse and big slide were gone.

In their place was a pirate's cove so mild.

The joy of riding a beautiful horse

Was still there of coarse.

The merry-go-ride of my dreams

Where I can still reach out and catch a ring

And the horses seem to prance in step

While the organ seems to sing

Scarey to Some...

Fun to Others...

A place of memories to share

With friends, sisters and brothers.

Spring Fever

If You Want to Catch Spring Fever

If you want to catch Spring Fever

Go for a walk around The Lake.

Warm yourself like the pelicans and geese

Strech your wings and give a little shake.

The birds are building homes and nests

And they're forming pairs all over.

They're doing what they can to get to know one another,

And they're eating all of the grass and clover.

Go for a walk around the lake, feel the power of Spring.....

Go for a walk around the lake, stretch and give a little shake....   enjoy Spring Fever!
