Child Within Me
Most people although aged
are very much young at heart
They love to dance and play
They get excited in small things
How many old and middle aged would love to behave like young?
Full of joy and enthusiasm
Well... Most of them
That day during a cricket match
I made a bet with son
As my team hit sixes and fours
I clapped and jumped in joy
I even danced an awkward dance
My son said Mom you don't behave like fifty
I said I don't care, I want to enjoy
We all laughed, we had lot of fun
I do whatever my mind says
Sometimes child like and silly
I am young at heart
Such acts keep me always happy
I often wonder why should one behave as grownup
when still a child at heart
Why can't we be our true self
Instead of following stereotyped world
It is so much fun to be a child
Just be and see
I got these words from dictionary:
Enthusiasm, Awkward, Stereotyped, Self, Child
