Childhood

I still remember my childhood
just seems like a few days ago
when i use to play in the sandbox
run around,splash water
burning my fingers with fire
had to lye to survive
ate with my hands
no spoons or knife
i closed my eyes 5 years have gone by
now im 10 i push kid around
i am like the boss
i turned around its my birthday
happy birthday
now im almost a man
17 years and more to come
life seems so short
can you remember 
what you did 10 years ago?
not really, im getting 
to old
