It wasnt long ago that i was a child of five Playing in the sand and feeling i was alive Thinking that nothing could ever stand in my way Since all i really did was have fun day by day It was a time of innocence It was a time of fun It was a time of nothing more Then playing in the sun But then by the age of ten It was during school I saw That time was slowly marching on And that i was growing older more and more I didnt want to leave, My childhood that i loved I just couldnt leave The sand castles i had grown to love Then by the age of fourteen I realized it was to late To worry about the days of my youth It was responsablities i started to hate Not big ones yet, Like bills and other things It was the small ones like What part time job i needed, So i could spend the cash on which the job doth brings. Now that im nineteen And i have bills to pay, I still have a place thats deep within my heart Its a place where i store my memories that i had right from the start. I might be turning twenty this year And i know that i am starting to view What life doth bring me What Responsabilities i will have to do But i have to say this now That my childhood has not left me yet I cant help but admit this That i still watch cartoons while in bed.

You speak for most of us, I am sure! But as you so aptly conveyed, those memories, and that happy and innocent little girl, will forever dwell within you! Bring her out and play with her often! Warm hugs, --and happy 20th birthday in advance!  EA |

I'm well beyond the age of twenty, but I still have my childhood and teen years in me......and it's wonderful to have when the responsibilities and pressures of this life seem to be pouring in. Don't ever lose your ability to bring out the child in you when it's needed.  Hugs, Ethel |

This is so good it should make it to the book  Real friends celebrate in who we are and have faith in all that we can become |
