Second Childhood

When I go for a morning walk, 
For I found myself fresh & smooth, 
In case I’m in an attitude to talk 
I’ll pick away a youth. 

I'd ideally chat with a youngster 
Of an energetic age 
Than to chat in the high-sanctuary class 
With a school’s sage. 

I’d love the scramble of extravagant hand 
That carefully sticks; 
It is mature enough I grasp 
‘Why life is so tough’, I should not ask. 

I love the drone of little tongue 
Moreover, trusting in the eyes; 
These are the joys that keep me young 
As daylight kicks the blue skies. 

For as to second childhood
I gently drew it close
With a happy heart to see it why 
We are reborn in our adulthood.
