What Child Is This When I Was Young

When I was young what child is this My memory of my childhood, I can go back to when I was four Mostly walking but yet crawling on the floor, I was mostly good When I was young I had fun, Sitting on the kitchen floor Me and my brother beating pots and pans, as my father comes in the door Believe it or not he could have been another Stevie Wonder When I was young what child is this When I was young I would watch my brother Even though I was the youngest, we had no other Person to watch him see, he had a condition he didn't deserve it When I was young there was a lot of cartoons Cowboys and westerns weekends and afterschool We had a small house with plenty of room, three bedroom house one bathroom When I was young my parents worked daily I went to school some in the early years, in fear I mainly stayed and watched my brother For you see we had a slight problem He was birth blind and retarded This is how my delinquency started When I was young what child is this 10/14/2017
