Oh, To Be a Child Again

Oh, to be a child again Do you remember when Fun is the goal everyday Wake up and go, no delay Food always ready, enjoy Brush teeth, comb hair Mommy says---- I just want my teddy bear And a cookie, pretty please Life lived with such ease Pet the dog, look in that log Run and jump, where's that frog Chase butterflies, catch fireflies Run in circles, get dizzy and fall Giggle and laugh, what a ball Runny nose, wipe on your clothes Have to pee, do same as boys Try and catch bouncy bunnies Back to house to fill tummy Again---- Smell freshly baked cookies Mommy, I want milk please Take a nap, no time for that Pick wild flowers out back Sometimes I see a lot Others not ---- Mommy would never care Got some to put in her hair If you only picked grass She would display in a vase And say they're so pretty Then---- You forgot---- Run away then run back Dig in your little pocket In a dirty little hand Tiny little stones and sand Displayed like precious gems With the grass---- And the other stones---- And sand---- OH, TO BE A CHILD AGAIN !!!!!!!
