Remember When

Remember when we actually went to work

We drove our cars, our duties we didn’t shirk

We woke up early, put in our time

Then drove back home after earning our dime,

Remember when.

Remember when we’d dress up in real clothes,

Planning our outfit, in front of the mirror we’d pose.

Getting ready, out the door we’d go

A cup of caffeine through our veins would flow.

Remember when.

Remember when we saw others face to face

We weren’t apart, we were in the same place.

Shaking hands, standing near

Giving hugs, high fives to cheer.

Remember when.

Remember when we were able to play sports

We’d go to games, our kiddos to support.

We’d race from work, there for the start,

As parents we’d do our part,

Remember when.

Remember when toilet paper was plentiful

A fully stocked shelf? Ah that was beautiful.

No worries wiping, no counting of squares

We never worried about that Charmin bear

Remember when.

Remember when we could travel anywhere

Hop on a plane, take off in the air

New memories, dreams of fun days

Upon new sights we’d gaze.

Remember when.

Remember when we could meet and hang out too

And time flew by as we laughed the whole night through

You brought the dip, I had the chips

We’d eat too much, went straight to our hips,

Remember when.

Remember when.
