It was a very good year
It was a very good year for preppy girls
And athletic sons
All the popular ones
Where all they did was fine
When I was barely nine

When I was eleven of age
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for artistic folks
And acting pros
Who knew how the world goes
Who were very sage
When I was eleven of age

When I became a teen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for peaceful souls
And fair judged minds
Who stayed within the lines
Always in-between
When I became a teen

And now the days are long
I’m passed my prime of my years
I think of my life as fulfilled dreams
Where the dim became smart
The cruel showed some heart
And faced the worst of their fears
I’ve had some very good years [comments] => 1 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Schnikes13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

A great last line. Just stay focused on having lots more good years. Experience every one of your dreams and don't ever consider asking "I wonder if..."
It's better to be a has been than a never been at all!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
