When I was but Small so long ago,
The Future I thought a Budding friend;
Adventures Planned, Good days to know,
A Wonderous time with gifts to send.
But the Future Ways took dear Souls,
And left me Broken and Forlorn;
Those Precious Folk the Heart did hold,
And gave me Nights to Mourn.
Now it's strange to think that in my Youth,
I Craved those Pending days;
With fleeting years grow Seasoned Proof:
The Past is where our thoughts do stray.

Time ran slowly as a child now so fast. A good write Kevin also what was suffering then now appears to have been good times.
Yes. Ironic isn't it. We look back and laugh at some of the things we Worried over.
Thank you for Reading as always. 👍👶🧔
My pleasure Kevin
What a poignant piece, Kevin. Childhood greets the coming years with wonder, never imagining the losses waiting within them...then experience turns our gaze toward everything left behind. Beautifully expressed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
