When I Was Seventeen
by Phelicity
When I was seventeen
It was a furry good year,
It was a time fur travels to tropical isles
and Paris in Fall,
The clothes and perfumes
And foods I've seen!
When I was seventeen.
When I was only two,
I had such happy, fun days,
All safe and secure in my mommy's love
and my innocent ways,
And I'd never dreamed
What a kitty could do
When I was only two.
When I was ten or so,
I was mature, not so shy,
I had wonderful friends and a few lost loves,
no wallflower, I,
And no time to cry
With my life all aglow
And many places to go.
When I was just fourteen,
I was a dancer, a Star!
I danced the classic ballets and Broadway shows,
they raved from afar.
And I drove my own car,
A blue Dauphine,
When I was just fourteen.
Now I am eighteen years,
And what a life I have seen!
I've had adventures and prizes and accolades
all fit fur a queen,
And a lifetime of love
That erased all fears
Is mine at eighteen years.
So as my time goes on,
And I'm determined it will,
I may dream peaceful dreams or stand up and sing
on the highest hill.
Keep watching me now,
In each blue-gold dawn,
And I will always go on.
