You know when was young, like six or eight <br />Pretty girls to me were not for a date. <br />The world to me was a big happy place, <br />And the smile the same, on every face. <br />Most beautiful I found the pouring rain, <br />And of the shining sunshine, I thought same. <br />The worms were God’s creatures, just like the cat, <br />- And clowns were ugly in every hat. <br />When I was young I wished to be older <br />My mom said, ‘wish not this, ’ the wise told-her. <br />Now aged, I wished to be young like then <br />Unable - I relive youth through my pen. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2008 Leslie Alexis<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-be-young-again-3/
