Being A Boy

Man how I miss being a boy
Nothing to do but play and destroy!
My world was just mum, dad and toys
Visits to the park brought so much joy
Just wanted to run and be a cowboy
Playing with dad as he threw the ball
Me trying to catch it, wishing I was tall
Mum looking for me as I ran around the mall
Getting in trouble for scrawling on the wall
Going to the toy shop was pure bliss
Simple joys like that I'll always miss
For when I grew up I had a plan
To be a hero like Spiderman!
Had the costume and toys in my room
Even had the bubble bath in the bathroom!
Remember shouting and being out of control
Chasing the football wanting to score a goal
Visiting my Grandad, god bless his soul
Staying with him was the best thing ever
Me asking endless questions, him calling me clever
As I write this now, I'm shedding a tear
Wishing to hear his voice and him to be here
My wish came true and I got bigger and taller
But now I miss the days when I was younger and smaller
