I was the age of 5, just a little boy
When my little sister had over a friend, and her name was Joy;
I remember they played barbie’s for just a little while;
And I of course was Super Man with my cape of towel;
After a while of bugging them they finally let me play;
I became the astronaut, all the rest of the day;
I flew out in my space ship to save the planet of two;
No matter how many enemies, because victory I knew;
With my space ship and I, not one did I miss;
Why, because every time I returned home,
I got a heroes kiss.

What a beautiful poem! If only kisses were that innocent always! I miss the days of childhood, when life was simple and our imagination took us on fantastic journeys every day!
Absolutely beautiful….thankyou!
Thank you for the nice
Thank you for the nice comment. I am 48 and if you never grow up, kisses are alway that innocent.
When I wrote this peom on my forum, one girl repled she had never been kissed.
I wrote this for her:
Never Been Kissed
When two lips touch for the very first time;
Both Hearts stop, and you hear a chime;
With the nerviness of the moment and the excitement of it all;
It is like not paying attention and walking into a wall;
You walk around like a zombie for the next several days;
Dumb founded by the moment in total amaze;
Now that you know what is like to have a very first kiss;
Grab the cutest person around you and
make sure you don’t miss.
