I Remember

I Remember

the days gone by,

I Remember

askin' why.

I Remember the days

of simplicity, when

all was clear and without gray.

I Remember havin' a fight,

but makin' up overnight.

I Remember

knowing no shame

nor caring about fame.

I Remember

I once was myself

no money, no wealth

to taint my mind

or make me blind.

I Remember

being a child

not too wild

but neither mild.

I Remember

the events of school

full of verbal duels

Everyone trying to be the best

and show off the rest.

I Remember

wondering where

did the days of care

go?

I don't remember that.
