Cheers to the times when we were young
To the times when all was but a melodious song
To times when joints don't creak
And energy levels were at their peak
To moments of not having strands of gray hair
And having eyes that were a remarkable pair
Cheers to the good old days when we were void of despair
And times when little monetary allowances made you think cash is rare
To dancing in the rain regardless of catching a cold
To taking up laborious challenges to see results unfold
To the simple days when we focused on fun
When there was no darkness, just the sun
But hey, here's to growing up as well
To putting up an adulthood fight
And diminishing darkness with light
