WEREN’T PARENTS KIDS ONCE -Poetry for kids

Stephanie Daich

Sep 8, 2024

They used to smile and dream

Stay outside all day.

They used to like to play.

Now they don’t believe in fun.

It reminds me of my friends from high school and how they now complain about their teenagers being teenagers, as if they have no memories of the way we used to be, or think, or feel.
