It was a time of studying and memorizing books,

A time when we dare not give the oposite sex a second

look, the only vices we obsesed about was religion

and the stereo that sometimes played tunes very loud,

The BeeGees dominated the airwaves, while young,

fanatical school girls crooned along with liner notes,

drawing crowds…..

One would swear there was a test as they song with

devotion, and gestures of emotion,

But, even then we knew, that no one gets to heaven without

a story of their own, and God loves everyone deeply that is

why he calls some of his children home early,

While as young girls we struggled to survive, keeping ourselves

above reproach, we knew the day would come when we would

have to say goodye to ponytails and bobbysocks and the

momentoes we clung to, especially the vinyl records that

documented all the childish things we used to do…….
