Back in the day
Not a worry in the world
Goofing off
No deadlines and no stress
What's snack today?
Was the only worry
He stole my crayon!
Was the biggest dilemma
Mommy's favorite vase
The only thing broken
We all looked forward to nap time
And a snack at 1:30 on the dot
It's time to stop dreaming
Those days are gone
Head out into the world
Ready? No!...Get set. Wait!!... Go.

I'm graduating high school in a few days and I wrote this as a part of a senior project we needed to do for my English class. For me, it shows how much I miss being a kid and how growing up is something that's just thrown at you. You don't get a choice, it happens whether you like it or not.
