A few lines - recalled much too late - appreciating the carefree days of youth!
Where fun meant a picnic and climbing a tree,
I long for the days that have gone past,
Anything but this role that life has cast.
I long for the carefree days of school,
Though at that time I thought it cruel,
I long for the days when everything was fun,
Oh! How difficult and tedious life has become.
I long for the simple joys of younger years,
With few responsibilities and fewer fears,
I long for those days when even a small little thing,
Could untold joy and happiness bring.
The years are catching up faster and fast,
Those days I long for never could last,
Memories of the time spent in such a simple life,
Today come to the fore and cut like a knife.
There is no option but to move ahead,
Life is a book just waiting to be read,
I only hope that further down life's way,
I can sit back and long for today.
