Summer Dayze

I barely remember those long days
How they passed in a blissful daze
Riding our bikes, playing in the park...
Almost instantly the world became dark
Begging to stay out for five minutes more
And then we would shout goodbye from our door
I barely remember the dragging of school
Struggling to read and write and follow each rule
Homework, exams, all the boring stuff
Although things just then weren't so tough
Counting down to those long summer days
And that constant blissful daze
I dont know when I grew older
Or when the world grew colder
I dont know when everything changed
Or why my life suddenly had to be so perfectly arranged
Plus summers are no longer the same
And theres no one but time to blame
I wish I knew when my childhood ended
And I wish that it could have been extended
I wish for that innocence and being blind
I wish I still thought this world to be kind
Mostly I wish for the summers that used to be
But all I'm left with is a memory

Blissful youth...where did it go?
I love this poem because it takes me there. I too rememebr those long summer days and carefree times. LIfe lived in intensity in those childhood days gone by. I love the desire to recapture -- slow down--or pin point when it ended. I like that you brought me back to those memories....well done and thank you.

Hi,
Hi,
Yes, it was carefree, wasn't it, but changes all too quickly, and of course it was different then to what it is now. I hope the kids of today can be carefree but doubt it more and more. I enjoyed reading your poem !

Just like the other comments,
Just like the other comments, I could identify with what you were saying in your poem. Isn't it strange when as youngsters all we want to do is grow up, but then as we get older we yearn for the days when we could enjoy long Summers and the freedom of being able to play.
A lovely nostalgic read.
Jenny.
