I think I have posted this before, but I am posting it again - these are the KIDS OF SURF CITY -I know a few are missing - some very important to our "crew." If you have any pictures that include more please post them. I love you all - well, most of the time. Anyway, here is a tribute to the kids of Surf City. Hope you enjoy it.

      THE KIDS OF SURF CITY

    We are the kids of Surf City

    Our time knows no boundary

    We live forever, our dreams are bound

    By the sea, its smell, its feel, its sound.

    And all we need to know of truth

    Has been allowed to us through youth.

    From towers left by Bumble Bees

    We saw so far beyond the trees

    To lands and isles and foreign nations

    All brought to us through imaginations.

    Oh, those mighty days, our golden youth

    Were all we needed to know of truth.

    When from our sights we saw the sails

    Of pirate ships and cannon balls

    Like brothers fighting with sea oats swords

    We conquered dunes, becoming lords

    And all we needed to know of truth

    Was provided by our winsome youth.

    New age has come to join our crew

    Creeping Time spreads among we few

   Who lived so free, tho still are bound

    By that sea and all that we had found

    From the blessed colored lens of youth

    Still we hold the secret of the truth.
