'Oh For Those Heady Days Of Youth' Poem by David Bennett

'OH FOR THOSE HEADY DAYS OF YOUTH'

Those days seemed so long ago,
All your aspirations as you larked there in the snow,
Some of those have come true! Lots are left behind.
Planning for the future, not looking to the past,
Will I have some children, how many do you think Ill have? .
A house, a car, holidays, now will that all come back?
Do you think my siblings will have some? cousins for my own
Dont know Ill have to ask them, when we are on our own,
Think they will say now, dont get to far ahead!
Was it only me then with those thoughts running round my head.
Course it wasn't we all did, those thoughts ran in our brains,
Or was it only me who said it, came straight from my mouth.
Those days that was long ago, when I was in my youth.
