CHILDHOOD
Oh, what I would give to be a child again,
If only I had realized how precious it is then.
As hours, minutes, and seconds pass and fade away
I am further from childhood yet another day.
Carefree and glowing were how the days were,
And my biggest decision was whether I should share with him or her.
Worldwide troubles and disasters were unheeded.
For me, nothing but nourishment and a toy were needed.
Friends were honest and always grinned,
As free as the kite they held blowing in the wind.
Friends were all around, none were lost,
Whatever the price to bring it all back, I would pay the cost.
Alas, the clock of time

Literature
Where I'm From
Where I'm From
I am from fallen walls in Berlin that took years to destroy,
From lush green hills and leprechauns, carrying pots of gold.
A part of me is fish and chips eaten with city flair,
Another part is kilts and bagpipes which actually aren't as obnoxious as I thought they were.
I am from my grandfathers and their uniforms of battle,
My life is built around coin collectors and afternoon naps in a rocking chair.
I could never forget Louise and Beulah, two beautiful and outstanding women,
Part of me is from artistic sketches and lots of homemade cookies, fresh out of the oven.
I am from the family pew where we all sit together,
