Oh I love the youthness of this poem.

It makes me think of my past and how I used to climb one tree in our backyard. Though the tree was high itself I could not go any further than what I did for fear of heights.

Nor could I sleep in the tree for fear that something would eat me lol

A well written poem

LOVED IT

Oh MT, you are very welcomed for being able to inspire you........ to make such a beautiful young, fresh piece. See? there you are... 5 years old again, in your old blue jeans with the wind caressing your face.... it's so mesmerizing and refreshing. A beautiful piece of art...

AMAZING JOB:)

Indeed.
amazing job..

I found the next part humorous and somehow Ironic.. because many 5 years old want to grow up as for you, you didn't. As for me, I was reluctant but that was not my choice. haha.

"floating along a riverbed of gold
wishing upon stars to never grow old"

I loved this poem...i atually have a poem that starts out really similarly "when we are but 5 years old.." lol i loved how you portrayed this...it really made me visualize the scene. i would luv it if u would check out some of my poems and tell me what u think :)

Aww this was a great idea, I am glad LP left the comment which triggered this for you because this is so beautiful. It amazes me that you can recall a time when you were younger and write about it so clearly that you create the impression it was only yesterday.

Your idea's and talent are just endless. Loved this one.
