Sorry folks, but another bad poem on the way...

Why do I remember my childhood?
Is it because I used to be loved?
Is it because I was special then?
Is it because I had the most presents?
Is it because of the innocence I portrayed?

Why do I remember my childhood?
Is it because of the family bond I once had?
Is it because I felt much more loved?
Is it because I gave out so much more love?

Why do I remember my childhood?
Is it because life was much more simple then?
Is it because I got more attention then?
Is it because I learnt right from wrong?

Why do I remember my childhood?
Is it because I was sweet to the outsider?
Is it because of the bed-time stories?
Is it because of the friendships formed?

I know why I remember...
Memories were shaped,
Those days made me who I am today,
Memories formed the stepping-stone into the unknown.

Nice poem....no one hardly writes about childhood and it's interesting that you shared it. Just remember that although we all wish we could regain one beautiful day of childhood, we never can. That's why I think you outta live like a kid while you can cause there will be days when childhood brings out the best in you! Like you said "Those days made me who I am today" Keep that in mind, while you face the sh** in life.
