Childhood

Childhood

the
greatest person

even
known is the one we all seemed to forget

life
before the age of teen-hood

innocence
was a way and time of life

and
learning by everyday experience

was
a full time job

simple
thoughts and lots of ideas

worries
and bad dreams we few and far

fear
was wondering if one was too old for the tooth fairy

each
day was an adventure

and
tons of questions weighed on the mind heavy

where
did all of those people go?

as
we mature and we start our families

we
see a glimpse of those great people

Those
were lost over the years

but
somewhere, some place along the way

we
were tainted and jaded

and changed hiding our best
