As I woke up crying,
And my dream faded away,
I thought I was dying
My thoughts were going astray

I grew up, my hair was grey,
My smile toothless, not my best day
I felt my stamina drain, my body was breathless
My fave wrinkled such a mess

A mountain of responsibility,
My child's school and college fee
Were the pin in the haystack,
My aching shoulders and inflamed back,
Were the least of my pains

College was fun, college was stimulating
The best time of my life, leaves me reminiscing
Playing in the mud at school,
Was perhaps way too cool,
Back in the good old days
These are time zones, life's funny ways
I was born in this world, free of regret and remorse,
I remember dying and seeing a light filled door
