Be Like A Goonie

Be like a goonie and
never say die.
Find your treasure
and see what's
inside.

You might travel so
far to see
what you really
truly want to be.

Do not cry cause
goonies do not.
So dry your eyes
and dust off your socks.

The road might be long
and a rocky road
but goonies always
have a heart of gold.

Such a good film. My kids really like it. They don’t believe that we used to leave for entire days on bikes or in the woods. Our parents never knew where we were. We came home for lunch and dinner. Lol. Love it.
