The Simple Days

The Simple Days
How I wish to go back to the simple days,
The simple days of play,
When all our worries had to do with fantasy,
And they would simply all just wash away.
 
How I wish to go back to the simple days,
When the playground was a castle,
And my bunk bed was my fort,
Guarded with loyal stuffed animals.
 
How I wish to go back to the simple days,
Hosting tea parties in the back yard,
Mr. Bear and Mr. Turtle were always on time
They were always the most courteous.
 
How I wish to go back to the simple days,
Homework was for grownups,
I never dreamed of doing it,
I rather color in rainbows. 
How I wish to go back to the simple days,
When a band aid on my scrape made my day,
It could make all the pain go away,
I would soon be good as new.

  2. I love your poem, and thinking about how as a child we dream to be where we are but then it's expectations are so high that we never realized how it would actually be. I guess we learn to live with it.
