When I was young
and full of pride,
was told not to show emotion
keep it all buried inside.

And if I were
to hug my Mother,
it would be just as bad
as kissing each other.

Once we approached a certin age
we were all then on a different page,
and were much to old
to be showing those things
even though it brought pleasure
and the happy feelings that brings.

Oh,if I had it to do over
I'd be romping with my sister,
through fields of clover.

Climbing fences
sitting upon a horse,
when we were told not to
we'd do it anyway,of course.

We hardly ever listened
and did as we were told,
until we were punished
and were put out in the cold.

But my parents they did
the best they could,
they were raised the same way
and no doubts,they understood!
and

We do what we know until we learn to change. Your poem really hits home...I'm sure for many others too.
