Of younger days

where is the world of my younger years
the world as i saw it so small
fascinating rich in texture
novel in new learned ideas
warm in the warmth of her
where is the world of my younger years
of the times of skinned knees
gentle pressure of soft hands
kisses to stop the cryin
hugs to stop the hurt
where is the world of my  younger years
when i knew that if in need
i had some one to run to
i had someone to care
someone to protect even me
