"On Sunday mornings I would go outside,

Step into the dazzling sunlight,

As I strolled joyfully down that special sidewalk,

In the neighborhood I grew up in.

That special sidewalk that followed me everywhere on my way to school and back,

That heard all the secrets spilled between companions,

All the rants about TV shows,

The sidewalk that listened as we counted the number of dog poops on the side of the road,

The sidewalk that raised me to be the dreamer I am today, and

The sidewalk that I have missed so dearly until now.

And now, as I revisit this treasured sidewalk, I feel a sense of peace and wonder, as I refresh my mind and prepare to take on

The challenges of the world."
