I miss being a kid - Poem

I miss the family holidays, 

I miss the magic of Christmas and birthdays, 

I miss my childhood friends who were no one else but just themselves, 

I miss break times,

I miss packed lunches and Oros and Peanut butter sandwiches, 

I miss the reading period we had first thing at school, 

I miss PE, 

I miss organised school sport, 

I miss the school camps we went on, 

I miss the netball games and the swimming galas, 

I miss spending all day in the pool, 

I miss the mad 'back to school' rush for new stationery, school uniform and those ugly black shoes,

I miss my shoes and clothes getting too small for me,

I miss enjoying cartoons,

I miss having maths homework,

I miss the 'well done' stickers and gold stars on my work,

I miss the school productions and musicals,

I miss the early morning choir sessions,

I miss Tabatha and Tigger,

I miss having sleep overs,

I miss my older sister now that she's not living at home anymore,

I miss just being a kid.
