| There had to be a last time When I would courageously head into The unknowing darkness To overcome the fear Or Hear those childish stories Of how the pigs fearfully Fought off the wolf There had to be a last time When I would wonder aimlessly Into the elementary school and Enjoy being a small child Or a last time I gracefully fell down Upon the dirt-filled yard Not injuring myself Or A time where I would Lovingly play with our Lively pets, running Amuck in the yard There had to be a last time That time was slow-taking, and Let everyone be a kid, and play those childish games Or luck would find us, Lending us a quarter, laying homeless on the broken sidewalk, Or when brothers and sister did not have to Argue over tangible toys Or the last time I crashed onto the pavement from A �horrible� bicycle accident, yet hide The bruises and scars until they healed And there had to be a last time When the few and only kids in my neighourhood Finally grew up, and moved on with their new lives and friends And there had to be a last time When a child, wee and fragile at mind, Would have to grow up into a mature adult, To move the future with his awkward ways I have done So many things For the Very Last Time. |
