When We Were Young

When we were young We didn’t know what we could become What we could have been When we were just sixteen. The road ran on forever Summer lasted long and dreamy Never a thought of being old When we were young and bold. We met together talked and sang Planted a twig that became a tree No restraints we ran free Like a picture coloured in and drawn. When we were young What could we have become A singer,poet and artist we Bosco, Souixie Sue and me. Gathered at the Walnut Grove Along wi Tam, Nautical Bill and Blondie Bee Having fun singing our song Never knowing what was to come. Our paths were split Each to their own way went Thinking back to when we were young A tune forgotten already sung. ©andrew provan mcintyre 12/5/16.
