Poetic Thursday: To Be A Child

It’s Thursday again; where does the time go? Time for poetry with Pam, Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats.

This is the inspiration photo we were given for this week:

And here’s my poem:

To Be A Child

Here’s a question for you, my friend:
if you could, would you be a child again?

Not for long, maybe a day,
but given the choice, you may want to stay.

No bills to pay, no worries or cares,
childhood innocence, no sad news to share.

Little ones live to play, hate to nap,
and love cuddle time on Mommy’s lap.

But those childhood days are in the past;
we were so naive to think they’d last.

So ride that scooter with the wind in your curls.
Soon enough, you’ll grow up to face the world.
