REMEMBER WHEN
We were young,
We were,
just little ones
We used to play
How we were,
when we were one
Way back then,
the times were young
Life was easy, for us then
For we had,
our innocence
Play was the only thing,
we knew
Then we grew,
into our lives
Time seemed
to change, their ways
For our eyes were
opened, to the view
Not all
of what we’ve seen, we liked
For life
only showed, the truth
It was up to us
to face it all
Even though,
it made us cry
Laugh
at the way, it went
For times were good,
times were bad
Life had its ways,
to cure our blues
It gave us, happiness
and love
With this love,
it gave us pain
For now our eyes,
are opened wide
Now we grown,
into our love
To feel the growing pain,
of impatient youth
Did we try,
to burn our life out
By trying
to do, all we can
For we thought,
we only had today
How wrong
we were
When we found,
how many mistakes,
we made
By being foolish,
with ourselves
How many times,
did it take to learn
We are
only, what we make
How many loves,
did we lose
By not being,
what we were
Trying to impress,
some little girl, or boy
To show them
you were grown up
A man or woman,
of the world
By doing things
only youth would do
Did you measure,
how big you were
By being the biggest fool,
of them all
Taking chances,
with your life
For it only took
common sense
To know
how wrong, you were
Did we listen,
to ourselves
Only when
it brought us pain
Sometimes,
even tragedy
A painful sorrow
to experience
Cost us
life and youth
When we passed,
the burning years
We saw
how foolish, we had been
Wondered
how, we got this far
In the year we are in
For now
we are more aware, of life
For we see life
has taught us, many things
Not all
did we want to be, a lesson
For our experiences,
were good
Only if we learn,
from the bad
Even though
we are older
We still
have allot, to learn
For life has many things,
in store
We can only know,
when it reaches, our door
For how we
receive it,
Will be our gift
or destruction
When we look,
behind
We’ll have,
our blessing
For we can look back,
to the good times
To Remember…
