Time Flies

A short poem reflecting on childhood.

By Li-Li 📓Published 4 years ago • 1 min read

The days so simple back then,

I must have been about ten.

When I felt alive and free

No one to worry about, only me.

I could play all day and it wasn't a crime

Except for when I was called in for dinner time.

Now I look back and I miss those days,

My childhood, my simple ways.

I can stay out past ten and do as I please,

Go wherever I want, I just grab my car keys.

Freedom comes with each passing age

But oh how I miss that stress-free stage!

I'm somewhat wiser now, I see the world with different eyes,

I'm still a child at heart,

I can't believe how time flies.
