Once I was a child

Childish games I did play

Carelessly

Ignoring waning days

Once I stood in manhood

Confident strong and blind

Foolishly

Leaving innocence behind

Once I was a lover

Roaming wild and free

Thoughtlessly

Hurting those who loved me

Once I was a pilgrim

My days I did wander

Squandering

All that life did offer

Once I was a dreamer

Now I just remember

Recalling

The things that never were

Once I was somebody         

Now I’m just nobody

Realizing

I never was…
