Oh, the lovely years of youth
Of laughter, joy, and tears
Oh, the lovely days of youth
Grow sweeter through the years
The days of our foundation
On which we build our life
The days we learned what patience means
And how to stop a strife
The days we learned to love
To care, to want, to see
The days we learned “You can’t do that.”
And “It’s not all about me.”
The days of cozy nights at home
Of giggles, games, and friends
The days of dreams and wonders
When your ambition never ends
The days when the future’s before you
And many sweet memories behind
The days of digging in the sand
And sliding down the slide
Oh, the lovely years of youth!
When I am sixty-two
I will treasure yet these days
And see what dreams came true
Beautiful poem, Faith! Everything you wrote is so true! <3
Thank you! 😀
Love the poem, Faith. “The days of our foundation on which we build our life…” this is so true for everyone. Each of our lives are shaped by the foundation that was laid in our childhood. If it was not a good foundation, we spend a lot of our adult life trying to change or overcome that foundation. Glad you have a family that is raising you with a good and Godly foundation for your life.
Keep writing! 🙂
Oh, yes, Yehovah was so good to give me such a wonderful foundation for my life!
Knowing the way I am, I have no choice but to keep writing! 😀
Love your poem Faith! It is SO true!!
