I have seen a lot of things,
some being bad some being good,
ask me if I would change any of these things,
I don't think I ever would.
As these are the things that build character,
to the person you are today,
come with me on a journey into your mind,
of memory's that once seemed so far away.
Remember your first bicycle, without training wheels,
when your father first let you go on your own,
never scared were you that you might fall,
as you never felt you were alone.
How about the first day of school,
How nervous you may have been,
how some of the kids were kind,
some funny ,some of them even mean.
What about your first girlfriend,
that swept you off your feet,
how you thought she was the love of your world,
your life was finally complete.
How can we forget our first heart break,
were nothing seemed to matter anymore,
gone was the girl that you loved,
that you said you would always adore.
Got to remember your first holiday,
the fun you had, the laughter as you would go and play,
how beautiful the place was,
how you broke your heart that you could not stay.
Think about your first job how you hated it so,
a boss who would scream pick up the slack,
but getting that paycheck at the end of week,
Would always make you go back.
Remembering things like this I don't feel is a bad thing,
try it see if you can remember something,
you have not thought about in a while,
I bet 9 times out of ten the people who do,
laugh, or even smile :-)

Yes. I smiled. Its nice to remember things, back when life was not complicated or tough. You painted a good picture here of how we can take things out and examine them and remember with a smile instead of always harshness. Keep on writing. You did good.

should've read your profile first. Hope I didn't sound too "bossy" with that first comment. My Mom left school at grade 6, and she hasn't done too bad for herself, so I am sure you will as well.

Nice, nostalgic piece. Several typos you may want to fix though... "your" instead of "you" in line 9 [i do this one all the time!]..."nervous" instead of "nerves"... "off your feet" instead of "of your feet"... you get the picture. None of these changes that fact that you wrote a good piece.
Write On!
