Childhood Memories

Growing up doesn't mean you have to forget your past. To me my childhood was one of the best parts of my life.

When i was a kid..

Life was simpler 

  phones could only make calls

computers were for paint and pinball

youtube was just starting out

When I was a kid..

   Technology wasn't the most important thing

   kids had imagination and made even the most boring things an adventure

      it was more fun to play outside and explore the world(even if it was only your backyard)

When I was a kid..

 The bond between siblings was unbreakable

    Max, Josh, and I did everything together

      We had lego building competitions, made mini golf courses in the house

         We played play station in the basement, and watch movies all night

   

When I was a kid..

  TV shows were the best

   Your life would be ruined by missing saturday morning cartoons

The shows taught you life lessons that you wouldn't forget

When i was a kid..

 Life was an adventure

     The scariest thing to hear was I'm telling

            A day at the park could become anything you want it to be 

When I was a kid..

 my childhood was the best

        but I just wanted to grow up

       wanting freedom to enjoy my life

     I was a kid..

      Remembering my past

But now i miss my childhood

   wanting the good times back

I was a kid..

 I was a 90's Kid

Amazing how things have changed in such a short expanse of time, imagine two decades from now, I can't even imagine...love the sweet reminiscing with your brothers, this brought back a lot of memories. Well done, especially in light of the fact that this is your first poem.

That happens when kids get older and have their own lives, my one brother lives in SF and the other is always away on business, I get it, and you're very welcome.
