Take me back
Way on back
To my childhood
When life was really good
When life was pure
When it was funny to be immature
Back when I sat on Grandma’s lap
Way back when I wore Grandpa’s cap
When I was young enough to play
Before, I had a bunch of bills to pay
When Mama would tuck you into bed
And Dad would hold you over his head
Take me back
Way on back

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Nice dose of nostalgia!
I wouldn't really wanna return to my childhood but I wish I can go back to when I was 22. Loved your poem!
I never thought I would hit fifty! And here tomorrow, I am seventy! Calgon, take me away! I just want to stay young for another day!😉
Even my 12 year old wants to go back a few years!
Yes, please....
I wrote a piece with this feeling. Wish I could go back 💖
