Looking Back!!


 

When I was only seven


I thought I was in heaven


I had a brand new front tooth


And a brand new school uniform


And my body had no defects


It was only perfect


No extra baggage or boobs


Without any aches or pains


No damn heartache or sorrow


Just so very happy to be the age seven


And not that ugly eleven



 


Legs now longer but no boobs yet


Now that I am 4711’s


Four sevens and one or more elevens


I wish I could be at heaven’s door


Or even become a grandma of seven


Before I go to heaven


My New Haven



 


Geez what a long way


Looking back


!

What a precious picture, Tinka, thanks for sharing it with us. Life did seem so much simpler then, but so much sweet time has passed between there and here as well as some bitter moments. I would never trade them for the gift of being 7 again, or even 11. Hopefully, the grandkids will come for you soon, Tinka and you will relate to them as they grow through all those wonderful stages. Life is amazing, never allow a moment to be filled with hate, for there is a lesson within all that occurs.
Take care,
Sherry

Hey! You look just like a girl in my grade school class. She always got me in trouble, too - with those nasty old nuns!!!

And those good old days truly do seem like a different lifetime now.

Ah, we can't help but look back, I am afraid that I do it far too much, write about "those" days far too much, but tomorrow is just as important as yesterday. Damn! That's a good one I believe.
