Nostalgia

Remember the days when we were young
Our lives laid out before us?
Sometimes we played a leading role,
Other times, we joined the chorus.

We weren't consumed by material needs,
Our tastes were simpler then:
A worm on a hook, a baseball glove,
Or just a bike ride with my friend.

You may say I'm nostalgic,
and my heart lives in the past.
But I'm satisfied with how things turned out,
I just wish time didn't go so fast.

Awww, I love it, especially the last line. I do appreciate time going fast when I’m working, though. :)

@MildlyInappropriate I don’t miss childhood all that much, other than the lack of any real responsibilities. If I’m nostalgic for a time in my life it’s my college years. I miss that time.

Same, really. What I miss from my childhood is the hope that adulthood is a desirable goal... ;) @ChampagneOnIce

@MildlyInappropriate I know. I couldn’t wait to grow up. Boy, was I foolish!

@MildlyInappropriate What’s the melody to your song?
MildlyInappropriate · 56-60, M
Ha! You know I had to sing it a little to work out the meter - maybe I should record a tune? ;) @ChampagneOnIce

@MildlyInappropriate Yes! You should. I’d love to hear it!
