Childhood

I for one miss my childhood do you?

Innocent days of sweet childhood lost to time 

The time for playing outside in the dirt 

Swinging on the swings soaring in the sky

Laying in the grass watching the clouds floating by

The lite brite and play dough consumed your imagination 

Running around while trying not to get tagged

Hop scotch and jump rope and maybe so hula hoop

Innocent childhood days lost to time 

Now days are consumed with Facebook and Twitter

Texting and watching t.v. wasting our time

YouTube video's to watch in our spare time 

Is indulging sometimes is that a crime?

Innocent days of sweet childhood lost to time 

Outside in the dirt and the mud 

Clothes dirty of our adventures fighting the evil queen 

Fighting off the dragon with our special powers

Lets get back to our roots in the dirt 

The clouds in the sky 

The swinging on the swing where we used to fly 

Let's reclaim our innocent childhood before it gets lost to time

I came across this poem by chance, but I'm very happy that I did. I think most would agree that not only is it well written, but it really takes the reader back to a simpler time. It's hard to imagine how different things tend to get as we age, but it's so important to be able to keep that inner-child alive.

I am glad you liked it =) Childhood seems so innocent and more fun that being older sometimes at least

What I wouldn't give to go back. But at the same time, I don't want to. I want to learn how to once again grasp my innocence in the present to find the wonder-filled child within me. Within everyone. :)

Wistful, bittersweet, beautifully written. :)
