Remember Me?

I was the one who was sat on the wall I was so little the others were tall The school was next door so I didn’t go far Never needed to go to school by car I played in the playground with some of my fiends Long summer days that never seemed to end That’s a long time ago, can you recall? The bumps and bruises when taking a fall Long summer nights turned to autumn browns As I grew older I had life’s up’s and down’s Working for a living to make ends meet Bringing up children that was a treat Do you remember me? I was young and daft I couldn’t remember when I last laughed I had wild ideas but they didn’t last long I knew back then that I didn’t belong Now I am older, I’ve survived life’s trials I’ve cried many tears and travelled miles Nearing retirement I look back at things Wondering now what retirement brings
