The days gone by br in thorns scattered br i stepped ignorantly. br tears dropped, wetting my cheeks br reminiscing those days gone by br when i wished things could be set aright. br br nature’s son was i br in her bosom i cried. br br i prayed for the release br from bonds that clutched me. br br i knew time will soon fly br leaving traces of youth behind. br br too soon things went by br those moments i will never regain. br br priority set br goals made. br br studies ablaze br along….pain sets a gaze. br and the joy enjoyed as a small boy br lost in youth br but in man, am drawing it again br hopes dangle afar, but try br i shall try. br gone are the days...... br br br ©cyclopseven.
