There is a silent wonder

in the eyes of a child

a simple, yet beautiful grace

before innocence is defiled

There are wishes and hopes

dreams left to pursue

goals and achievments

and plenty of time to do

In a race to get older

chasing adventures as they appear

children look at the world

without an ounce of fear

No hardships or self doubt

plague the mind of the young

only inspiration and wonder

for those who's bell is yet rung

I wish to go back

to memories so dear

a time when my future

was so wondrously clear

alas time does not pause

and it never goes back

so don't grow up my darlings

adulthood's a trap.
