Over my shoulder

As a child my eyes searched the sky

Adolescence kept my eyes upon the ground

Adulthood allows my eyes to take everything in,
yet I long to see as a child again

The world always wore a smile for me

People seemed as flowers

Tomorrow was of little consequence,
after all it is TODAY!!!

Bitter winds never blew,
clouds would part in my view

Certain of everything, knowing so little

My heart beat back then

To be the child, destroyed by adolescents, that made this man
