It's always good to hear the laughter of children
even when they're just laughing at you;
it doesn't matter that something amuses them
because by their eyes you don't see through.

Can you recall as a child how things were funny
and you had a good sense of humour
when you didn't have to worry about money
of which many people now murmur?

There are some children around who never grow up
and spend their lives living in the past
holding onto those memories which fill their cup
they drink out of now making time last.

I oft times wonder about someone's position
that other people may reflect on
whether it fits into that same strange condition
and they categorise them upon.

People try to explain their views in certain ways
and some don't come across well at all
they lack the power of experience which stays
long after they have made their words fall.

So back now to the subject of children laughing
who fill the air with a sense of bliss
they may not realise at times what they're saying
but isn't childhood comprised of this?

The past has gone and the present is now going
into the future as we all move
regardless of the place we may yet be knowing
that is for us difficult to prove.
