It wasn't so very
long ago
was it?
When I was a child
and "nothing to do"
was a complaint
a burden
something to suffer through
bear up under
Nowadays though
there's always
something to do
checklists spread far as
the horizon
"Nothing to do"
got lost along the way
an elusive, romantic idea
a fairy tale
Lost Neverland
How bittersweet, really
I didn't appreciate nothing
Until something was all I had
