I Wish
During my childhood I wished to be old.
Well here I am getting older.
but my thinking is different know
I wish to be young again.
It seemed to me that when I was growing up.
My birthdays came a lot slower.
Now birthdays come and go so fast that
I forget how old I am.
I sit here trying to remember my childhood
memories, but most of them has gotten
lost in time. It’s almost like my life has
been in a warp zone.
My daughter has her own life know. My son is in
high school. I can’t even remember some of their
years of growing up.
I wished I would’ve took the time to enjoy
life, but instead I wished it away. I will spend
my time that I have left enjoying life. I will also
wish for time to go slow, since its to late to
be young again.
