We
Were new
And wild
And full of fire.
Our blood pumping
Through our veins.
Couldn’t wait for our feet to hit
The floor.
Run out the door
Fly and play
Always waiting for the
Beginning
Of a new day.
Cheeks flushed
With promise.
Words gushed
From our hearts,
Full of hopes
And dreams.
How we did not heed
The words of our elders
“Enjoy the moments. Savor the feelings.
For before you know it
They are gone.”
What did those fools know?
We knew better
When we were

New and

Wild and

Full of fire.
Now my body is a little colder
My bones feel a bit older
My blood is pumping a little slower
As my feet
They hit the floor.
Now I’m not so eager
To listen to the ticking of
Time.
All these memories of mine
Locked in my head.
Seems I’m left
Dreaming
Of those days.
Those days
When
I was young and wild and full of fire.
