Childhood

Innocents and play
Then it's gone
What we knew
What we loved
Long moment
Short days
Time that we could not count
Filled with words that we could not spell
Ignorant bliss
Yet, understanding that is more
Than any school could have taught us
Because we didn't try
Because we just were
Because we played in the rain
instead of moping in it
Because we were not afraid to see beauty
And to be beautiful
And so we were
(are)

  1. Beautiful as always.
    I like the "Filled with words that we could not spell" and also the "Because we didn't try
    Because we just were"
