Be a child

When I was young I was told every day to
be a child, be young forever.
Hold on to youth and being small.

I always wanted to be tall, older than my age.

As I get older now,
bearing the weight of life
with bills, insurance, and accidents that do not
fix themselves.

There are no parents to call
no rooms to run to
and no blame to pass.

To be an adult is to want the child life.
Those moments when things were to far to reach
but it was okay.
