Hands Of Time Poem by Sarah Gabriel

Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again.
So when life gets tough i can just play pretend.
I wanna go back to when Santa did exist.
When my daddy was the only boy that i ever kissed.
When Disney World really was the best place to be.
When the only movies i could see were rated G.
When the biggest problem was learning to write your name
and people didn't change.
And my friends were all the same.
And every time i was sad or had a bad day.
I could just go run to mommy and everything would be okay.
I wanna go back to no hurt...and no pain...just laughter.
When everyone always lives happily ever after.
But you can never turn back all the hands of time
Life moves on so you go ahead and say your fine
So i force a smile, and i blink away the tears
Im supposed to be strong supposed to have no fears
but im finding it hard simply not to frown
if im such a strong person why am i breaking down
i scream for help and words never come
so i drown all the pain with another glass of rum
your strong, and brave, and smart they say
but why do i never feel that way
i have lots of people that are always there for me
but all i really wanna do is get away, flee
its true that life can be a climb
but all i wanna do is turn back the hands of time
