Nostalgia

Oh, to be a child again.

playground of curiosity
fresh perspective every time,
children see the world in a way we never could
they realise things us so-called ‘adults’ may miss
their child-like endeavours are exactly that — child-like
for they are children

they see 2 + 2 = 4
whereas we may see 2 + 2 as equaling forty four
or perhaps a hundred and four
or more
for a child is a genius
they learn new things every day
bound by no comfort zone, they make each day count.

they are free.
free from society.
free from the judgement of others
free from craving acceptance and acceptance, again
unlike we.

oh, to be a child again.

I’m donating my Medium earnings to charity this Ramadan. Why not come over and support? Simply read my stories and BAM — you’ve donated. Thank you!
