It's funny that when looking back
We laugh at long healed scars
Shake our heads at immaturity
When we wished upon the stars
It funny that I can laugh
At all those times I cried
And look back with a genuine smile
And a twinkle in my eyes
Its funny what I'm thinking now
That I'm grown up sitting here
But whats funny is what I will think
Looking back in 20 years

It's nice to look back at past achievements and accomplishments, so I hope you look back in twenty years and enjoy this poem as much as I have enjoyed reading it now.

See this through and leave my friend, the tears will come and I will end.

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

Interesting. I used to think a lot like that but I've reduced it down to one year instead of 20. 20 makes it sound like there is a plan to live that long.

I did enjoy the read, Lisa. It's a universal piece and speaks to all. Always nice to see.

Interesting thoughts here.

Lizzy!
Stop that....

Anyway, yeah, I don't completely agree with the message, but in a way, there is truth to faded memories not being so painful years later.
Nice write.
