Those days ahead
If we could travel back in time most of us would go back to our Elementary days
The toss and turns you make because you don’t want to get up
Your mom redoing your hair over and over because it's not how you want it
Mountain of pancakes on your favorite plate along with a puddle of syrup
The walk to school with your moms hand covering your own small hand
The warm summer breeze hitting you as you prepare for the day you get to spend with friends
Waiting for the hours to pass to get to recess and be part of a wedding you made up
The days are just days to you, you don’t think when this could all end
Seeing your moms face light up as she sees you running towards her to bring you home
The drive back with a slurpee in hand and non-stop chatter of what you learned
You get home and sit on the couch, eating a delicious lunch while watching a cartoon
Falling asleep, dreaming away with the next day waiting for you, unconcerned
Getting older is slow and steady, something you won’t notice
All of a sudden you’re in your senior year of high school
Counting down the days you can leave and fully start your life
Remember those days you couldn't wait till you grew up? What a fool
