When I'm As Tall As You

Up on the sturdy, filled-with-life crows nest

My father raised, I sit in wading, asking,

“How will I feel, when I’m as tall as you?”

I wish my youth was never Time’s for the taking.

I wish my favorite color (blue) I drew

In coloring books, and not for my Bio test.

How will I feel, when I’m as old as you?

I’ve planned my schedule for the next 30 years;

Day in, Day out, my coffee still bold tasting.

You enjoy rounds of 10 handicap… is that all that’s left?
