Chewing on pink curly straws <br />Steeped in glass green bottles full of fantasies <br />Wishing on tiny suns <br />That I could wear galoshes and splash in puddles <br />Fit into a see-saw and wear daisies in my hair <br /> <br />Chewing on licorice <br />Talking about boys <br />Laughing till I cried <br />Planning weddings <br /> <br />Walking with friends <br />When waiting was not such a big deal <br />When being late was not the end of the world <br />Not needing to watch time <br />To count days <br /> <br />A time <br />When I exceeded all that was expected of me <br />When I never fell short and was wiser than my years <br /> <br />Oh to be young again<br /><br />nisha dyrene<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-to-be-young-again/
