a younger you
every now and then
shows up with a sly smile
mischievous grin
happy go lucky
in your attitude
before the cold world
shivered in you

a younger you
every now and then
shows up to wonder
where have you been
with the mounting of worries
leaving a sickening taste
in what all they feed you
on a daily base

a younger you
every now and then
shows up for adventure
in the remembering when
life was more meaningful
back in the day
before all the simple
fell out of place

a younger you
every now and then
wonders in silence
if it could be done again
the wide eye experience
the innocence
of a younger you
when life you once lived
