If I Could Be a Child Again
If I could be a child again
childish, funny, playful
but my mother only laughs
If I could be a child again
eager, experimental, inquisitive
but the world only laughs
If I could be a child again
destructive, risky ventures
but my maid only laughs
If I could be a child again
a peeping Tom, a thief-let
but my God only laughs
Being a child is an amusement
life is free, enjoyable, cheap, safe.
