Bite Size poem. No. 111 Poetry Contest

Once I ran, forgetting myself in rising excitement, after fireflies bearing tiny torches of light. Hunted after tree Dryads in the neighbouring woods, and summoned tooth fairies to do my homework. Innocence is what dissociates a child from an adult.

You can't know unless you try, which is a wonderful life lesson for youngsters. We can only move forward, yet there are procedures to relive childhood innocence. Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. How delightful, dear Valsa. Sending blessings

Oh!! In some ways to experience the innocence once again, but we can't go back only forward. Thanks for sharing this one with us. I asked my husband to explain to me how Jesus Who existed before the world was formed could become a baby to be born in Bethlehem so long ago. He just did some questioning shoulder movement and hand movements. LOL..Sara K
