THINGS I NEVER HAD

October 4, 2015 By Mikki Jo Leave a Comment

 

I never had a tire swing

But I had a doll named Mindy-lou

And played football with my brother

With a worn out leather shoe

holiday-summer-yellow-lemon

I had a lemonade stand

For half a day one summer

Gave one cup to my friend

And drank the rest at supper

 

I never had a princess room

But I had purple butterflies

And a hope chest full of cups and dreams

Of being a gentleman’s wife

I never had silly pictures

Of ballerinas and fluffy stuff

I hung posters of the Jackson Five

While Donnie Osmond sang puppy love

 

I never had an electric car

But I had a pretty pony

He was golden like the sun

So I named him Goldie

I never had a swimming pool

But I had a little creek

I’d find tadpoles and crawdads

And shiny rocks to keep

 

I never had a ferret

But I had a turtle in a bowl

Momma said to let it go

So it could go back home

I watched Batman and Robin

And the Bonanza show

But my hard-working Daddy

Was always my hero

Simplicity is gracious

My life has been so sweet

For all that I didn’t have

I never missed a thing
