For The Child In You. Xx

Remeniscing the days when you were a child,

When the smile on your face never seemed to fade.

Before the harsh world began to mark its course on your delicate features,

Unknowing the struggle that was yet to come.

 

Looking back, a carefree world seems so distant,

Yet not completely vanished from our memories.

The meaning of life was far less complex,

As we chased the dreams we used to have.

 

Our sight of the earth was impaired,

Blinded by the words "Once Upon a Time."

Taken aback by the growing fairytale we thought was life,

Although life itself could never compare.

 

Myths and legends clouded our minds,

Trapping us in a world of fantasy.

What you would give to be young again,

A sacrifice worth making.

  • Excellent write

    Indeed and as the parents of this world looks upon their children and sees the very mold they have shapped them into and yet complain everyday asking why their children act the way they do . It wasnt the child who failed oh no for the child is taught by you . So if you break and crumble an angels wings that angel in time will wear those teachings for all to see the very reflection of the life you so gave them . This is such a great piece here .Bravo
