. . . Being a Child


I wanna rewind to the time
when "song" meant nursery rhyme.
when "hurt" was only a bruise on the knee,
When promises were meant to be.

When the only annoying thing was your brother.
When the safest abode was in the arms of your mother.
When the only fear was upsetting dad.
When skipping a meal was the only thing bad.

When "hate" was an unknown word,
when "music" was the singing of a bird.
When darkness was the only scare,
when your best friend was your teddy bear.
when jumping on the couch was the only thing wild...

. . . I wanna go back to being a child..
