To Be a Child Again By Kenny Davis

To Be a Child Again by Kenny Davis I see the children of today Their smiles take me away To my times as a child And the games that I would play To be a child again Means to be taken to an imaginary place Where a box could be a house or race car Or a ship in outer space To be a child again Means Mother is God in my eyes My father is like my hero Like Superman in the skies To be a child again There are many times, I would smile from ear to ear I would jump into my parent’s loving arms With nothing left to fear To be a child again Full of bedtime stories and fairy tales Whether it was Jack and the Beanstalk Or Jack and Jill with their water pails To be a child again My life filled with Mother Goose The tails of Humpty Dumpty And Green Eggs and Ham from Dr. Seuss Now that I have grown I recall my times as a child So young, so innocent So reckless and wild To be a child again My parents would wipe away every tear It is all of those tender moments as a child That I will always hold dear © June 2009 k.davis
