Juvenile Emotions

When I was a child, everything seems to be cakewalk,

Knowing nothing about the world, having lots of friends to talk,

When I was a child, my mother used to wipe my tears if I fall,

Suddenly forgetting the reason even if it was big or teeny-weeny small,

When I was a child, I know nothing about this cruel world,

Winning everyone's heart with a smile that was more than a sparkle.

When I was a child, there were no differences in caste or creed,

Rich and poor were all the same with no one ever supersede,

When I was a child, Choosing between A toy car and 100 bucks was simple,

Where money was nothing more than few shilling coins and piece of paper,

When I was a child colors were beautiful in sky and in sea,

But now things have changed without an ecstasy.

I need the child back in me, surely I do,

Laughing and giggling around with nothing more to do,

I need the child back in me to face this world more abundantly,

Where there are dimensions to my thoughts exceptionally.

I need that Child back in me, who wishes from the falling star,

Having an innocent smile and a hope to make this world real bizarre.
