younger years

I want to go back to my younger years
when I didn't care
about anything...
I want to go back to the cops and robbers days
and play in the snow til my legs sting
But that's life man...
There are bills to pay
and things to be learned
and mommies and daddies to make proud
so we plug along
but never forget
how it felt to swing from the boughs of oaks

"cops and robber days" is wonderful. That phrase manages to work simultaneously as a description and an image, for me. Thanks ~R

Nice job! It makes me think of my younger days and I think we would all like to go back to our younger days when life was easier and fun!
