When I Was Young

There was a time in my life when I thought I knew it all. I was so sure that there was nothing more for me to learn. I was bound to land on my feet and I would rarely fall. I knew better than to cross a bridge, and then let it burn. As a kid, everything would come so easily to me. School was just a place I would go to be with my friends. I was never worried about what my future might be. I knew that whatever I chose, I’d be happy in the end. Now that I’m older, I realize that there’s much more to life, And I’m able to see the world through much clearer eyes. Someday, I know that I will make a wonderful wife, But for now, fifth grade is over, and it’s on to Junior High.
