Thinking back to days of old
Those days of thoughts of me
When I was young and foolish
Not caring what life will be
I'd spend each wasting day
Daydreaming instead of doing
The things that were important
For my future worth pursuing
How many childhoods are wasted
If as that wise saying does go
If I only knew then what I know now
Then again, I was too young to know
Oh, where are those days of old
The days with thoughts of me
When I was very young and foolish
Never caring what life would be.

DeleteIf only we knew then what we know now, how different our lives could be! But alas! That is all a part of growing up: making mistakes and learning from them as we mature and grow. Experience seems to be our best teacher. Loved the poem. I'm finding it harder and harder to even remember what I thought back in the day...I just know I wouldn't want to do it over again.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Neither would I want to do it over again.
DeleteLove this poem-so meaningful
