Rekindling the Flame of Innocence
Joyful innocence of our childhood years
Drawn in through perceptional memory
Carefree exuberance devoid of fears
Fun and frolic in continuity
With fun and games our only agenda
It was a whirlpool of activity
Rolling in the mud we felt no stigma
Flowing joyfully moment to moment
Life was simple; today an enigma
We recall back then, we were innocent
Smiles and tears both came to us easily
Instant forgiveness marked our love quotient
Blissful years of our childhood passed quickly
Hearts entwined back then still stand by our side
Pure love motiveless; embracing fully
Childhood scenes sweet; how quickly did they glide
We reflect now, with this understanding
We were pure of heart, one with God inside
A child once more, ego surrendering
Love does lead, with innocence following
