Childhood Memories

Now and then
i remember back when
being a kid was the lifestyle
that i thought would never end

from sun up to sun down
the world was my playground
my imagination ran wild
as i pretend to kill the bad guys

laughter from my lips
for no apparent reason
just loving being a kid
throughout all the seasons

time seemed endless
with no worries on my mind
watching Sunday cartoons
and the running off to make mud pies

that was the life
but now adulthood is insight
it came up behind a corner
and sneaked up on me like a thief in the night
