Remember To Play

The children know
They know how to be friends
How to play together
And how not to argue over crap
Somehow, we lose all of that 
Adulting takes it all away
Replacing it with God knows what
We lose our imagination and vision
We lose our curiosity and our desire for fun
Most of all, we forget how to discuss
And we lose our ability to question
Maybe we should search our souls
Find that secret path to being a kid again 
So that we might be better adults
