My childhood

*(Verse 1)**

I sat in the middle, sandwiched in love

Grandpa’s coffee, rusk crumbs on my glove

Tears fell for his loss, sisters held me tight

Moved to another home, where memories reshaped.

**(Chorus)**

In the heartbeat of family, I found my place

Wolfie by my side—dragons, mermaids, a wild, safe space

Brother, sister, from another mother’s grace

A Memory that won't escape in this race.

**(Verse 2)**

January 13th, 2024—the day unfolded like a dream

Uncle’s smile lit the aisle, his new love, a sunrise beam

We chased wild dreams in our own backyard

“Love found its rhythm”—the echoes still align.

**(Verse 3)**

Grandma’s hands wove life in the garden’s soil

Roses bloomed—orange, peach, a love she’d toil

Grandpa stood beside her, a petal in his hand

I gave him a stem—“this one’s for you”—and he smiled.

Now I trace his absence, whispers ask me why:

“What’ll bring his memory back? What’ll bring his love alive?”

**(Bridge)**

This is my childhood—how does time feel so old?

This is my childhood, a dream I'm still living in.

**(Outro)** From 20 12 to 20 26—scars, and steps I’ve cleared.

This is my childhood
