Lost Child

Embrace your inner-child at times
Just to simply enjoy the day
Keeping realities eye open wide
When this child goes out to play

Dance in the rain, twirl and spin
No worries of winning a medal
He loves me, He loves me not
When stripping the daisy petals

Innocence lost can never be found
Realities of life often humble
Seeing the world through a child’s eye
Reminds us all how we stumble

Your inner child is more behaved than mine ha ha. In reality it is good to hold on to some of our child like wonder and playfulness. To many people take themselves way to serious. I like that this was your first poem for the Soup. Have a fun filled day.
