I can not remove those impressions made, br In my youth. br Nor can I replace misconceptions done, br Of how my growing up in the projects... br Was not for my sister and I lives filled with fun. br I for one had little if none. br We were latchkey kids! br br Chores and responsibility came early for me. br And I made sure my sister Mim, br Didn't think what I did... br Was going to make her life a breeze. br br If I had to wash dishes and sweep... br She was not going outside to play, br A game of hide and seek. br I was young and disciplined. br And she, at times, grew to despise me. br But we... br Were latchkey kids.br br Lawrence S.
