On another playground maybe just down the street.
What would that boy be like just starting out
when just a small child. Still just as caring and sweet?
Playing little league or running in the woods as a scout?

What was built into him that lead me to the one I knew -
these values that were instilled or taught
through the 1980s as that little body and mind grew?
The footsteps that lead up to his crest I sought.
