Outer Child

Written by Gail DeBole on April 10, 2015


The hidden Inner Child briefly escapes the  
          Boundaries of adulthood 
And experiences the world's delights
          Through the eyes and actions of the Outer Child.

Hello Nette - Maybe so...although my outer child hasn't been out in a while. My outer adult has been monopolizing all my time. So glad you liked the poem. Thank you for stopping by.
