Remember the Day

Can You Remember the day
 a time when you were young
 you could go and play

 feeling safe and no worries
 so much you wanted to do
life was never going to end

you had dreams of such hope
and you could reach the stars
but as you grew up the world changed

your life became rearranged
hopes became fantasies and wishes
how far could you go and climb

the world came in with a crash
and now you struggle to survive
your only doing what makes it

but in the end i will win
i shall retire and live my dream
and hope for a better life for all

What a beautiful, nostalgic poem. And yes, the life as it is now has so much hardship. But we struggle on!
