" One More Time "

I want to go back to ohio
where I was born and grew up
seventy one years ago
I want to see if the small town
that I thought was so big
is still like it was
to see if it has changed
or if I have changed
I want to go and visit
my mom and dad
where they are buried
in the town cemetery
I want to drive by the house
I remember in my old neighborhood
where it was safe for us
to go anywhere
I want to drive around
and see if it is all
still the same
I just want to feel
one more time how
it was to be a child
living out my childhood
in this wonderful place
growing up left alone
to explore and learn
on my own
I just want to see
one more time
