Home Sweet Home

I used to be so young
so full of vibrant life
Could never be restrained
Parentally guided or contained
Lacking in experience
Knowledge but a seed
Lived for the moment
schemed for that hour
When I could shape and mold
a world all my own
I used to be so young
So very full of life
Out from dawn to dawn
Never wanting to go home
But now that I am older
I am so very much alone
The hour now is early
Long ago having passed late
And I wish
so one and only
I wish I could go home
