My Little Yo-yo

My Little Yo-yo

My little yo-yo
Such a simple little toy
Round plastic, a string, and a hand
Been with me since I was young and innocent
Now that little toy reminds me of life
Back and forth, up and down
It always comes back
My little world
Things always leaving
And things always coming back
Just like the things in my teenage life
Through the loop, walk the dog, around the world
The tricks of life I learn with each passing day
Teaching me things outside my textbooks
Need to be learned hands-on
Just like my yo-yo
And just like my yo-yo
People will always come and go
So I'll play with my yo-yo
Up, and then down
My little yo-yo
Returns
Always
