My Student Days
So long ago
a distant memory
that special time.
Being poor
Being happy
Being alive
Places I remember
the Library, the Students' Union
my Hall of Residence
My friends
what became of them?
where are they now?
My whole life ahead of me,
a time of hope
optimism.
How I miss those days
a different time
a simpler time
I remember that fateful day
when I realised it was all over.
Off you go, don't come back.
Did I make the most of my time?
would I turn the clock back if I could?
I think you know the answer.

Dear K,
Ah, thoughts of yesteryear and more like yesterdecades now. Your sentimental write got me thinking how much more advantage I would have should have taken during my college years. Alas, i cherish the memories and friendships I do have but...what else might they have been? Lovely write. H🌷

Dear Honoria,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes it is indeed decades now since those happy days...and now we look back at what might have been and wonder if we made the most of our years.
Take care
K
(PS>which college where you at?)
