When we were young

We use to stay up all night telling stories

We use to laugh

We use to cry

Then

Each morning we delivered the morning paper

House to House

on Foot or riding our bikes

In all kinds of weather together

We were the together forever “Irish Twins”

Born 9 months apart

Not much separated us

Life was our competition

Always wanting to beat each other

At whatever we did

We always knew one day

We would stop and question why and how

We always knew what the other was

Feeling, thinking or doing

Always watching out for one another

When we were young

there was no just getting by

We always wanted to be the best

at everything that we did

Boyfriends, Girlfriends

Sports and grades

and don’t forget

Love and attention

When we were young

There was

Church

Sunday School

Choir School

Church Youth Group

Weekend trips all about New England

Martha’s Vineyard

The Cape

Connecticut and Vermont

Singing songs to the music on WCGY

Ice Cream from Eddie’s truck

Spending our allowance

at

Eddie’s convenience Store

George’s Follies

and not to forget Woolworth’s Five and Ten

When we were young

We always thought we could

Fly so high and touch the sky

Oh, how I long for the days

When we were young

One of our favorite songs of that time
