Gone Are The Days Poem by Dorsey Baker

gone are the days
when you were in
your younger years
you had no doubts
and you had no fears

gone are the days
you could tell yourself
how to be strong
right or wrong

gone are the days
when there was more pleasure than pain
more sunshine than rain

gone are the days
when people called you
a kid
and you excelled
in everything
that you did

gone are the days
when your youth
was your lucky charm
to help you
make it through
any raging storm
