Adulthood

I wish I were a child...

Who could love
abundantly.
Who knows no right
nor wrong.
Who'd heed to none
when chided.
Who'd hold no grudges,
no memories.
Who'd fall into
slumbers deep.
And see each day new,
with no history.
Who'd grab and run
what the mind desired.
Drop it mid way
for something new to acquire.

I wish I were a child...

Who'd lighten up minds
and smile from within.
Give as much as I receive
Take all, hate none.
Demand what I'd want
Clasp to my heart what I'd won.
Give away, guilt free
And suddenly long for some.
Who knows no death
Nor lust, nor birth.
Nor games, nor blame
Nor judge, nor care.
Who'd run into open arms
Whether friend or foe.
Who gave second chances
or even three, yet kept no count.

I wish I were a child...
who'd whisper in my ears, that
I'm doing adulthood just fine...
And that I've fared well so far!
