“Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight,
Make me a child again, just for tonight!”
-Elizabeth Akers Allen
Sometimes I wish I could go back to yesterday
And re-say all the things I meant to say
Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock
And return to the year I didn’t feel so stuck
When I was younger, brighter, with dreams as fresh
As newly picked flowers
Or a bird without a leash
When the days seemed simpler
And the sky seemed bluer
When it was so much easier,
To smile and sing with laughter.
Oh, a wind of the clocks, that’s all it would take
A wish on a dandelion, a wish that everyone has made,
To go back in time to who we used to be
To go back to when we felt so free
