When you think of all the nifty things
you did when you were young
Encumbered by the age you were
to written lists you tightly clung
Being a resourceful youth
life flowed so easily
down paths of future promises
A saint you longed to be
A little anxious, you feel your nerves
your body starts to sweat
And all the cheeky comments made
You ignore and soon forget
But now you’re grown and life outside
is just what you deserve
Its such a pleasant feeling
like a positive, upward curve.
