First stanza:
I have a baby/toddler brother, and this is so relatable! I laughed at this, and liked the rhymes.
Second stanza:
I enjoyed the rhymes in this too and I liked the perspective of a toddler you've portrayed.
Third stanza:
Reminds me of another younger brother I have. When you're that age, it's so easy to play and enjoy yourself with the innocence you still have.
Fourth stanza:
I felt guilty, despite being fairly well behaved, lol. Though I know someone who is very much like that. I thought the rhyming was clever in this, too.
Fifth stanza:
Quite sad, but, again, well executed. I'd put a full stop at the end of the second sentence in this stanza, though :)
Sixth stanza:
Again, sad but, at the same time, uplifting in the sense that the narrator is no longer unhappy or lonely and has settled down.
Seventh stanza:
Well written, ( again!) and I like the relaxed tone of the narrator in this stanza.
Eighth stanza:
A powerful ending to the poem with a good message. And I loved the title!
Excellent poem.

Wow! Thanks Keira for writing such an amazing comment :) It's always great when you write something that other people can relate to. I think we all have or had moments when we wished we were younger or older because of how unfair or hard life might appear at the time. But if we don't stop and make an effort to enjoy life now, it can so easily slip by. I guess we shouldn't rule out relaxation and enjoying ourselves at each stage in life rather than putting it off for sometime in the future, and only to find you've left it too late.
(NB: Please note the added full stop at Fifth stanza, end of the second sentence).

Well said Walter! It's so true, so very true..

I love the progression and truth here. Great poem!
