Remember When We Were Funny Kids

Remember when we were kids, we use to laugh out loud ?
We use to stay awake for days, jumping and running..
Breaking the limits of sound....

Remember when we had a fight for the very first time and you cried ?
We use to be funny kids playing all around, no space for sadness or tears....
Except the tears of joy , those we couldn't hide...

Remember when we use to make branks to uncle deen ?
We throw at him a pocket of painting, we wrapped his legs...
Remember when we broke his phone screen ?

Remember when we use to run through the woods to have fun ?
Funny kids we were , I believe we still, I know we're old but our souls still young...
If you don't believe me, let's make a race and start to run....

All these memories about our days when we were kids is what's keeping me a life...
There's nothing to worry about when we were kids exibt having fun...
Now see how life cut our throats with her knife.....

Funny kids, yes funny kids that's how we use to be...
Funny oh  yeah funny, you can't remember but believe me it's real...
In my memory I look to the mirror and I see the funny kid who still lives  inside of me...

Vladislav Raven Date: 1/5/2016 4:24:00 PM Hi Dalia, i do Love this one. Everything was so carefree in those childhood days. We had no idea what was to come with adulthood. Some of us have not lost the spirit of our childhood days, that little boy is always ready to come forth and have some fun. This piece has brought out many memories. One reads through your lines of memory and then the streams of the readers own memory start to run. A seven and a fav for this wonderful write....Vladislav.
