Back then
When we were kids
Just spendin’ hours thinkin’,
Takin’ in blessed moments
Under our brows -
Inspectin’ everything,

Our lives were light
And our hope was
An ode to inspiration,
And ‘Beauty’, unknown
And unshaped,
Was just a word Mum
Would utter at her
Tiny rose bushes

Our light was so bright
And we were so right.
Life was ne’er hard before
We gave it away
To the trials and rain
Clouds overhead

Even when Dad left,
Mum knew somethin’ better,
That those rose bushes
Would come bloomin’ again

Ah, son it's the inspiration of the muses that you are havin'.
In the second line I would take out the word "were" and put in the word "was". That's just me.
It's a bit of fine poem that you have written.
I think Yeats would be proud of your efforts.
So you big hearted, two fisted, tura lura. I'll be seein' down at the pub for a bit of a pint when the soccer match starts.
This is a really nice poem!!!
