I remember my days of childhood, <br />When everything was brighter in life - <br />It was as if the world was covered in jewels <br />And sparkled with heavenly light. <br /> <br />But now that light has faded, <br />And all is dismal and dim. <br />I wish there were a way to recapture <br />Those days when youth was my friend.<br /><br />Jonathan Platt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-youth-was-my-friend/
