When I Was Young Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

when i was young
the world was old
the trees were bright
the leaves held secrets


when i was young
the books smelled nice
and the roads felt long

when i was young
the girls were all pretty
and my heart was thriving
amongst their beauty.

when i was young
life was an agony
spent between school work

when i was young
every day was a memory

now it is all dark,
my friend,
now it is all dark,
now the days are a gift
an extra!

now i am wiser
among the fools

now i remember
the days when i was young
and
how fast it has all gone.
