If Only I Was Younger

If only I was younger, I know where I'd want to be To be with someone special, who wants to be with me We'd grow into our tomorrows sharing each others joy Children, one two three, two girls and a boy We'd write about many things, live as true love declares Even dancing naked in the rain, towelling we would share Holidaying in the sun, this white man to become tanned Taking each day at a time, true love our only plan Watching our children prosper, into adults they'll become Our earlier years will live again, loving under the sun I'm loving someone special who wanted to be with me I'm glad we met those years ago, now in the arms of she .

Thank you Kate. This poem was written before a moment in my life happened. This moment happened as I hoped it would, with the latter stanza looking back at what the previous stanza's are leading to. It's lovely to see you here at my pages, hugs, James :) :)

this a dream many of us dream..:) I really am blessed to see couples though say old and grey still hold hands, hug and kissed like it was yesterday.. no exaggeration but it's simply the thought of having crossed all that may had challenged their relationship.. :)!! with the poem, well i like the shifts of feelings and scenes... :) as you begin it with wishing 'til it came true at the end.. :) the poem is full of yearnings and dreams.. :) but it;s great that it came to reality at end..:) sweet!
