do you ever think back over your life
and remember things passed
remember the people you now miss
and the fun times you had together
remember the stupid embarrassing things you did
all the ones you hope no one else remembers
do you ever think back on your life and think how   long its been
think how many changes youv gone through
think about certain times you really enjoyed
wish you could keep living in them forever
or think how glad you are your not living in certain other times forever
just think about your life in general
and reminisce about the good times or what not
sort of like old people in some movies do
and then remember that your only seventeen?

even though us teens are young...we still have lots of memories...even if we havent lived that long...we have all been through the same thing at one point in our lives...

Oh Sherm ... this one gave me big smiles! Very thought inducing ... I enjoyed this!  I may have a "few" years on you, but I sure remember thinking and feeling just as you've described. You brought back some wonderful memories ... thank you for this small journey!

Best wishes,
/Kit

yes yes yes!
more often than i want to think about it. how is it that a seventeen year old can look at his/her life and wish for the good old days? i suppose more things happen in seventeen years than one thinks is possible. all i know is i'm seventeen and i feel like i've lived two lifetimes. and one lifetime is long enough...
great poem and a great theme! i love it.< !signature-->

I loved the poem.  Keep up the good work.  I am only 18, but I still look back to those things.

"crazy" is just who you are...amplified.

some people draw the outlines in life, i chose to add the color.
