Life

Wanting to be older
When you're young
Be able to do everything
That hasn't been done
Going to new places
That haven't been seen
And making things real
That you used to dream

Now you're older
Wishing you were young
Thinking about all the things
You wish could be redone
Now you go to places
You've already seen
And now you wonder
Why you no longer dream

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
