That Touch Of Grey ~ Hey Larry ~   Author:  5940  Category:(Poetry) Created:(8/24/2002 11:23:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (320 times) Well I woke up this mornin', peered in the mirror Don't mind saying, I felt a little inferior Thought I was going to greet a brand new day 'Till I noticed that touch of grey I remember when, not so long ago When life was easy, a steady flow I can recall the carefee days When Mom and Dad paved the way They looked after me, gave me clothes Sent me to school, hoping to grow Not thinking, nor a care in my mind I harken back to a different time Life was easier way back then Wishing I could return to "Begin" Learning to add 2 plus 2 Yearning to live life anew I had no worries, nor a care in the world While I enjoyed candy, or a frosty swirl Playing with friends who lived on my street These are the days I find so neat Those days are gone, as far as I see Though they beckon me to be carefree At times I wish that I could bolt And leave behind my being adult This I write to each of you Enjoy your youth, explore something new Never be hasty, never forget Life is simply what you make of it Look back with fondness,with no regret Learn from the past, do not forget That life is short, from others do learn Waste not your youth, and you won't get burned You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or interesting stories for the world to read and respond to Click here Scroll all the way down to read replies.
