Hey Steemians, I was just reminiscing the good old days, feeling nostalgic, I decided to pen down my thoughts in the best way I could- Poetry

I REMEMBER

I remember when boys were boys
And our primary thoughts were toys
Running around, making a helluva noise
And having no care in the world
When our joys was playing
And our fear was bathing
All we really cared about was the here and now

I remember when we had cars
plates were our steerings
And the girls wore star-pin earrings
When hide and seek was the game
And kelekele was the name
We'd rather run after balls
But all our sisters really cared about was game box

I remember when we were big boys
Yet we didn't need a Rolls Royce
All we needed was a four-button suit
And a pair of singing white canvass shoes
When if you had a pair of plastic glasses
You had the world in your pocket
All that mattered was the world we had designed

I remember when the rules were simple
Like, don't wander off on your own
Don't walk in the bush without your slippers
If you get injured just holla
'cause someone will always protect you
Someone will always call to momma
The rules were not so hard to follow

I remember when we were free
For our worries weren't real
How I wish those days we can revisit
this time every moment I shall relish
Though all I have left are memories, hazy
And the pictures of days gone, fuzzy
I do remember...

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this please.
