Lost Child

Embrace your inner-child at times Just to simply enjoy the day Keeping realities eye open wide When this child goes out to play Dance in the rain, twirl and spin No worries of winning a medal He loves me, He loves me not When stripping the daisy petals Innocence lost can never be found Realities of life often humble Seeing the world through a child’s eye Reminds us all how we stumble Author: Debra Squyres Date: April 18, 2011

Your inner child is more behaved than mine ha ha. In reality it is good to hold on to some of our child like wonder and playfulness. To many people take themselves way to serious. I like that this was your first poem for the Soup. Have a fun filled day.
