Oh- my sweet childhood

I miss the days

where I had such little to worry 

Where all I had to focus on

Was my chores

And taking care 

of my beloved brother 

Oh, the sweet memories. 

I will forever long for

Those sunny days

As I drive to school in the rain

A sense of nostalgia revives itself

Only to remind me that I’m alone now

It is just me driving the car

I still do all my chores

although I work full time now

Things are no longer the same

And I will spend forever missing the days

When I had such little to worry about 

My only worries were the safety of my little brother

And my parents staying by my side

Feeding me and nurturing me with life 

As I now drive my car and park at school

I close my eyes just for a moment 

And when I hear the rain

Beating on the windows

I’m suddenly not alone in the car

I am a kid again 

I am happy and safe

I think I’ll keep my eyes closed.
