Childhood Insights

The insignificant play of children often prove to be their livelihood,
As they get older, they wander and stray,
Yet it all comes back to their youthful days,
The task that brought them the most joy,
becomes the path that will eventually rejuvenate
their adult lives,
sending the precognitive knowledge of a former child
to take flight,
Then all the years of searching and stumbling become
a distant memory,
While they soar out of the world of Make-Believe and into
Reality.
