Isaac T Okurut Poet ABC

I Wish I Were Eight Again

I wish i were eight again
Strolling down the lonely plains
Fervently chasing butterflies
That cascade the evening twiligh
I'd cherish all till night

I wish i were eight again
No bait to the wild plains
With so much to share
And somebody to comb my hair
And tell me its all fair

I wish i were eight again
With little worry to my brain
And an innocent mind therin
To tell the little girl i liked 
That i was still a boy

I wish i were eight again
But times are changing
And memories fading
Roses and daisies are long gone
Guns and liquor are now home.
