Life of a Child

I remember a time, when life was pure, full of innocence, not a care in the world. Nothing really mattered, no responsibility at all, everything taken care of, this was a wonderful world. A life full of happiness, endless joy, everything was an adventure, we could conquer the world. My future was certain, I knew what I wanted to be, the world was my oyster, nothing was going to stop me. Then years flashed by, everything changed, responsibilities of life took over, that child no longer remained. I think back to that time, as brief as it was, I'll never feel that way again, the care free life of a child. M.Mahauariki © 2008
