It’s interesting
How one moment,
You’re riding your bike in
The endless days of Summer
And the next,
You’re forced to make a choice
That will change your life forever
When you’re younger,
You don’t think about the hard stuff
You look to the future and say,
Maybe one day
But what happens when that one day
Is here?
Now I count down the days of Summer,
No longer lost in the endless heat
Now my days are filled with papers
And technology and what-ifs
I miss the good old days
When I didn’t have to think
I could rely on someone else for a change
But I suppose that’s what happens
When one grows up
You have to rely on yourself for a change
And so let this be a lesson,
To enjoy life as you live it,
To live in the endless days of Summer,
And to enjoy your childhood while it still lasts
Because you have the rest of your life
To be an adult,
But really,
Only a few precious golden years
To be a child
