When I Am 18 Again Poem by David L. Harkins

When I am eighteen again,

I will remember the excitement of living

and forget the dramas of daily life.



When I am eighteen again,

I will see more bright smiles in the hallway

and fewer dull reflections on the hallway floors.



When I am eighteen again,

I will build stronger friendships

and tear down my insecurities.



When I am eighteen again,

I will do more of those things I want to do

and worry less about fitting in because of my choices.



When I am eighteen again,

I will fall in love with a giggling girl

and overcome my shyness to ask for a date.



When I am eighteen again,

I will remember how it feels to be eighteen

and forget I am not eighteen.



When, I am eighteen, again.
