Free
Free of the rules
Free of the worry
Free to play and have fun.
We grow up
Slowly learning
about the world around us.
learning to talk
and learning to walk
We learn to have imagination
and to create with our minds
we learn how to have fun
and how to enjoy life
and so we live life
to the fullest,
thinking that this is all that life
will ever be.
That we were born,
So that we can have fun,
And play
With everybody
We didn’t care about race.
Because when we are young,
we are all innocent.
Living in a world of beauty
and excitement.
Looking at everything with new eyes
knowing we will always find something new
something that we have never seen before
Life; a bud in spring
that we are slowly watching open
so we can discover
the beauty inside.
Sights, smells,
a whole world
just waiting for us to discover them.
New things
old things,
anything
To overload our senses
The joyful trees in summer who dance with each other to the music of the wind,
The delicate butterfly in the garden who comes up to us, asking to play in the garden
The rattling truck outside our window racing towards a fire (that might be on the moon),
The lazy white clouds that form shapes in our mind, telling the story of a family of penguins,
The stories are endless…
So many new things,
that we have yet to learn about
or completely understand.
But we don’t mind
Because when everything is new,
we can’t hate anything.
We don’t know that word
Yet we don’t need to
Thinking to ourselves
that the world is huge
and that it is a wonder in itself.
That the world is a place
where everyone who we meet
could maybe be our friend
just for today
Where the only thing that limits us
is our imagination
and we can never get bored
because we can always think of something new.
Everyone wants their childhood back
Once it’s gone,
We all miss it
Because when we are children,
We are truly free.
