When I Was Little
When I was little ,
I didn’t worry with the troubles of the world .
Now, it’s different
-I am not a little girl .
When I was little ,
I didn’t live with heartaches .
Now , I’m wondering how did I overcome so many heart breaks .
When I was little ,
I didn’t know what death meant.
Now that I’m older I see the dangers of the world , so I repent .
When I was little ,
I didn’t think life was that hard .
Now , I see it’s important to play the right cards .
When I was little ,
I didn’t think I would get old .
Now , I believe the older people and wise stories they told .
When I was little ,
I didn’t think about writing poems .
Now , I am sitting ,thinking drinking virgin rum.
