Make the Most of Today by Cerys H - Y8

 

I look back at the town               

I used to call home

So cosy and warm

I never felt alone

 

But that was back then

Not in the times of now

Where the little things are lost

This change happened, how?

 

In the blank city

With dull streets and grey skies,

Where dreams are congested

And imagination dies

 

But back then and now

The places are the same

Same roads, same town

Just one worn away

 

The change is there

And I hate it so much

And I wish with all my might

To go back to the way it was!

 

When the sun smiled down

And the wind roamed free

While plants grew wild

As though just for me

 

Yes, I still remember those times...

Yellow sun, blue skies

But then I wake up and it’s gone

And I realise, it is time to move on

 

So I close the photo album

and the past fades away

While I think to myself

“I’ll make the most of today.”
