When I was a kid, I always felt too precocious for my age, and wanted to grow up as soon as possible. I thought Peter Pan was a stupid character, but now that I'm a grown up, I understand its appeal. Good observational skills, Dawn...made me picture the innocent child quite vividly.
Amazing piece, Dawn. The time when a child grows up and loses their innocence is one of the great tragedies in life - if only everyone could see the world as a child does. Keep up the great work!
I often wonder this too Dawn - if we all could hold onto that pure innocence and eagerness to please others oh what a wonderful world it would be indeed! Keep writing - you have fabulous thoughts to share :)
Innocence for a short time and then kicked into adulthood.
I think there still is a lot of good in the world, unfortunately the bad gets more press.
Still love the joy kids give you, gives me an excuse to play on the trampoline.
What a wonderful wish for us all. I have a newly-minted 10 year old. His birthday was very recent. I do endeavor to keep him enthusiastic about the world but truth, I don't think he needs my help:)
Observational poems are some of my faves, and this one is speaks loud and clear as to your skill at this type of poetry. The hurry to grow up, only to dream of being young, again.
Such a dilemma, a serious dilemma. Thank you for taking me on this walk with you through this supermarket.
This is so true, Dawn.
Children are wonderfully innocent their feelings, their desire and their action.
They never know what reality is, so they flow with what their mind dictate to them.
Stupid or not stupid, they just flow freely.

I agree totally with you Kay, thankyou for your lovely comment. thankyou. Dawn.
Things are very different as a child, no worries, no stress, you're mind isn't tainted yet of all the badness of this world. Very well written. Well Done.
