A Child We Once Were

A child so small.
A child so cute.
A child so sensetive.
But yet so active.
A child with a big heart.
No where near having a small
imagination.
A child with wits.
A child so bright.
Can't help but feel the energy through
your eyes.
Their mind so creative.
The way they explore the world of 
learning.
Makes it interesting about babysitting. 
So it's worth being in their presences 
cause
they remind you of who you once were.
They don't want to grow up.
We were once there.
Now we look back.
Wanting to go back in time.
And beg our moms for just a dime.
