Re-living innocence

We don’t appreciate innocence and childhood

Till we are part of cruel and grownup world

 

We hope to relive our childhood

Through the pure hearts of our rebelling children

 

We dream about re-living the childhood once more

Send our kids to their adult life and

Pull them back to appreciate their innocence

 

But every dream that touches reality

Just turns impure

Every child who reaches adulthood

Can never return to being pure

They say we can never return home.. and in some ways this is so true.. your words reflect this deeply. Growing up seems to mean leaving behind.. the innocence.. the childhood dances... May we still let those memories linger and help us walk with joy through the dark shadows that haunt us in our adult years.
