A Rondel

Oh, could I be a child again. Mommy and Daddy standing by My hurts to kiss, my tears to dry, When life was easy, little pain. I sang and played in sun and rain. The days of childhood too soon fly. Oh, could I be a child again, Mommy and Daddy standing by. I yearn for childhood now in vain. It's gone as though a fleeting sigh, I can't return hard as I try, Though such fond memories remain. Oh, could I be a child again. For Jared's Rondel contest
