I Miss My Childhood

I miss my childhood so much.

Childhood was when I couldn't reach the table,
Then someone would pick me up.

Childhood was when I was the life of a party,
I would smile at everyone, and they all exclaimed, "What a lovely baby!"

Childhood was when I couldn't ride a bike,
But my mother would take me every where I wanted to go.

Childhood was when I cried three times a day,
But I laughed five times more.

Childhood was when I knew nothing about the world,
So everyday was a new adventure.

Childhood was when I opened my heart to the world,
And the world opened up to me.

I have grown a lot more,
I have known many things.
I used to pray for more time to play,
Now I pray for sleep.
I now acquired every skill to survive,
But now I long for the eager heart of a child.
