Those Were The Days Poem by Judith Kempis

'It is only at sunset where you can see the beauty of sunrise'
Lito Maye

I was just a spoiled brat
Hopping, playing, I spent a lot
Sitting on the grass without a mat
Liked to pose as mother took a shot.

Going with friends to river and swim
Laughing, screaming and teasing them
Never gets tired from school to home
But studies a priority when I'm in room.

That was just a simple remembrance
I wish to bring it back if there's a chance
Even if would happen for only once
And childhood friends with a simple dance.

As time goes by I'm growing old
Be mature and think bold
Have to work without being told
For my future in hand must be hold.

As my journey takes a long road
I worked and lived for years abroad
Happy with kids and family around
Love to kids I always bound.

But life begins and go insane
When all things occupied in my brain
My heart breaks and scars remain
At the end, lessons learn.
