I WISH TO BE A CHILD AGAIN....

I don’t remember when;

Skipping every rock on the pond;

My childhood is forever gone;

I took it all for granted;

Standing near the hearth for warm;

Never realized how cold it was for the unfortunate ones.

I wish I could walk my way back to those innocent years;

Skipping the pain and miseries;

Where I always try to hold back my tears.

The guiltless face of childhood still appeals me from within;

As all of us have changed from then;

And there is no need for me to pretend.

Lately I have been missing all those days;

And I often feel the urge to cry;

Why couldn’t everything stay forever?

Why must we all have to say goodbye.

These years have passed in the blink of an eye;

The childhood friendship still lingers in my heart;

And those friendships we had have faded quickly.

I look back on those memories often;

As every person does;

And realize how much I wish to be a child again;

How much I wish to be a child again……
