Funny Thing is

The funny thing is
remember when you were a kid?
remember when whatever you did
mattered, when you were a kid?
Where you'd bang a lid
run around all day
with your friends chasing you
so much time to play
remember when time moved slow?
things were funny then
I wish I had known
remember waiting for the bus?
the morning was such a fuss
Remember going to the pencil sharpener?
where each turn, your mind would wander
remember, the first time you took your step
haha me either, can't remember that...yet
I remember a time, when time moved slow
it was such a funny thing, as you grow
how time suddenly starts to move quite fast
and then, the funny thing is, being a kids the past
strange, its only the deranged
who say what they think
on topics of any range
Remember when you'd ask your parents crazy questions?
They'd think, then try to move you in the right direction
Remember when you had juice boxes?
and learned about dogs chasing foxes
Remember that time when you were young?
running shouting, not caring and having fun.
Are those times done?
Funny thing is I'm growing up
and my feet are farther away
so are my days of play
and as my body reaches its peak
puberty hits, sweat starts to stink
I've reached that brink
of what is/is not "adult"
funny thing is, that you consult
your friends, your family all of your peers
but they don't know the end of your years
they don't know what happens next
funny thing is, they don't know what to expect
Remember what your mother used to say to you at night?
as she kissed your cheek,and pulled the covers tight
right before she turned off...the light
Remember that time when a kid had an accident?
everyone knew, the smell was omnipresent
Remember that time, so long ago, where you were a child, and you first saw snow?
How white it was, frosty and nice, your snowman might freeze overnight
the cries of delight, the snowball fight
the funny thing is, that time marches on
the end is the beginning
until the times wrong
but the funny thing is
always around you
and the funny thing is
it will always astound you
you remember it all
every minute described
of your childhood
passing
before your eyes
but the funny thing is
you never knew it then
and the funny thing is
you can't stop it my friend.
