Cherish the child within

Let's cherish the child within,

that loves the laughter and grins,

an innocent heart, untouched by time,

residing inside, where everything begins. 


When eyes sparkled, thoughts were pure,

being assured of comfort, to be secure, 

finding joy in simple activities, 

seeking things, that's gentle and sweet.

Be it a playful pup or kitten,

hugging a cuddly toy or trinkets, 

exploring the neighborhood for treasures,

in the alleys, hideout, or outskirts. 


We might not play slides anymore,

and climb trees to sit on branches,

or capture insects or butterflies, 

trying flavors of gums and candies.

But, there are ways to experience, 

forgotten memories of wonderful days,

through books, shows or watching kids,

while reliving in our mind, those moments. 


The world now, is too demanding, 

of our freedom and those feelings,

kept hidden, concealed deep in recesses, 

not to be made open, or be ridiculed.

But, we all know the real charm,

of childhood spirits, that radiates warmth,

letting us dream again, with colorful imaginations, 

in the magic of innocence, of child within.
