Nostalgia

If only...

If only we could go back,

to when we made mud pies after it rains,

to when we spend hours playing hide-and-seek in the

fields of corn,

to when we'd stay up till dawn,

not due to assignments, or work,

but as a competition between friends.

But now...

Now we have to clean up the mud,

stop our games,

and spend our days

working...

Working, so we may not live

in poverty.

Meaning:

No more games.

No more fun.

Just filled with the nostalgia

of those good old days.
