My childhood song
Oh, how I long for the earth to cool, to bring me back to the days of my youth; it is the best days I have ever had because I never remember feeling sad. I used to climb trees and roam in bushes and mingle with the breeze, and when the days seem long, I used to write a lyrical song.
Oh, how I longed for the days to shine, when the earth will no longer be mine. I will fly in the sky and move around the world until the day I die. I will move from country to country and enjoy good cuisine and write the books of my dream. I will live in the culture of the world until every story is told and walk along every shore until peace is restored to the world.
Yes, take me back to the days of my youth, and you will learn the truth. I have never been absent from school, and I always follow the golden rule. I was the most punctual one in class and during the holidays I used to make the farm my praise. I roam among the orange trees and fill my gut with vitamins from the trees and when I was done, I climb the naseberry tree and sway with the breeze. We had fruits galore just behind the back door, I used to pick the fruits and spread them out on the floor, oranges, pineapple, mangoes, apple, jackfruit, passionfruit, banana grapefruit were the fruit of my youth. I never got sick because I fed on them and I made them my friends, and sometimes I feel like a bird flying in the heavens. But now I can see that all of that was just “Is”.
I had no conflict, quarrel or flight because I had a deep understanding of life and the joy of living, and when my emotions got high, I had no one to relate to, so I retreated to my tree house and close the door, and I felt free as bird. There was no one to bother me and there was no one to scare me, I felt at peace swaying in the trees with all the birds around me, they were my family.
I was constantly in touch with nature, for nature was my only shelter, and when the barriers were too high, the universe gave me a Bligh. Help me sing my childhood song and allow the memory to run along. Help me sing my childhood song and invite the whole world to sing along.
It is the happiest days of my life, and those memories are currently keeping me alive.
Come and help me sing my childhood song tonight.
