You're so happy-go-lucky
no worries in the world
you have no idea
of the life
full of stress
ahead
so live it while you
can
without the people
putting you down
make memories
the best ones,
the ones you'll always
remember
but never forget
where you come from
and who you are

© Dana D., Gansevoort, NY

This is a poem I wrote looking back at a picture of me when I was younger.
