Long ago, right where you are standing. young boys would play baseball from dawn 'til dark
It was just a vacant field, not even a park.
Now there are buildings, dumpsters and cars. The boys no longer play here. Even the houses they lived in are gone.
The children would walk, ride bikes or skate all around town. There was never a worry that they would come to any harm.
Things are different now. Not better but different. When they do play, someone tells them what to do. But few do anything but play "make believe" games on machines. Some even have make believe friends that they never see. They can't go anywhere alone because it is too dangerous.
The good old days were good for friendships. We were always together, usually playing outside. It was a good way to get to know each other.
