Back Then

I want to go back
Back to when I was slim 
and trimmed
And all I knew was fun 
fun fun!
Back to when I had no 
worries and loved many 
stories
Back to when no one told 
me my flaws
And I had no idea I was 
so small and short!
Back to when running a 
mile didnt seem like a 
chore
I want to go back then

I want to go back
Back to when school 
wasnt a task
When it hardly mattered 
if you read
When it was like putting 
through the hole of a 
pin,a thread
Back to those delicious 
yam porridge
That got you spending 
with all pleasure and 
courage
Back to those dance 
routines 
That had me feeling like I 
was a part of something
Back to building those 
sand castles
And driving mum crazy 
trying to make waffles
I want to go back then

John Pen Date: 4/22/2014 6:53:00 AM Sadly, time is on a one way street and there is no reversing. I like this one. Actually, I did a piece of my own called Topsy-turvy. I even turned it into a song: What if now was yesterday And things are the way they were then Would I be what I am today Or would I be what I was back then? Once again, great piece Iveren

Richard Lamoureux Date: 1/27/2013 3:29:00 PM What a great piece of Nostalgia. I wonder if one day you will look at today and feel a similar way about now. The further we are away, the better it seems to have been.
Chidozie Uche O. Date: 1/27/2013 11:26:00 AM yeah, from the unconscious back to the conscious. That's poetry in the making. That feelings always came knocking at your mind. Wonderful work. I felt the spice in this work.
