The old neighborhood

 Newport News VA.  Was were I spent my childhood.

Much has changed since I left


The playground I used to play on is no longer  there.

It's been torn down and replaced with a gas station of all things

My childhood memories is all I have now


Days playing tag with my friends

Days I thought would never end

Backyard football 

BBQs with the neighbors 

That was the field where we played Baseball


Races run around tracks

Or just running around playing tag

Lots of fun we used to have


Now all gone

Torn down

Whipped away

Nothing but gas stations and mini marts


Thank God I still got my memories 

Though a site likes this wounds my soul

With my memories it can never truly take its toll
