There was a big tree here
Surrounded by little rocks
Remember looking for fossils?
There was a wide and steep hill here
The best sledding hill in town
Remember making snow ramps?
There was some pavement here
With markings to play different games
Remember not knowing all of them?
There was a “forest” here
Really, only a half dozen trees
Remember looking for acorns?
There was a playground here
With many slides to ride
Remember climbing them instead?
There was an elementary school here
Some of your best memories made there
Remember when they tore it all down?
