A Child

To be a child ocne again I would give anything.
To run and play and dream all day, the life of a child 
seems okay. 
To hear the laugher and see the smiles on their face makes me want
to be a child today. 
All the jokes they play and secrets that they share, God I wish I was
a child today. 
To have no worries about anything just what to do or play the next day, 
I wish I was a child today. 

To have my dreams fill the sky and be whatever I want to be,
I wish I was a child today. 

To go to school and learn all day and play with my friends I wish 
I was a child again.
