I wish I could be six again... a poem

When one lost pencil
was my biggest worry
I wish I could be six again
to enjoy losing the small things

 A scribble on a piece of paper
-my most cherished treasure
I wish I could be six again
so I could appreciate those riches

 A friend's sad expression
was enough to make me sob
I wish I could be six again
so I could feel freely again

 Excitement of school picnic
would keep me awake
I wish I could be six again
to have those first experiences again

 My small, secure family
was my world
I wish I could be six again
and not know to ask for more

    That world was small but always full with happiness of its kind. Great read.

      Thanks a lot...
      The tragedy is that by the time we understand the beauty of childhood, we have long lost it...

      I assume so... it does seem to be the answer to making life simple and happy and innocent...

      Thanks...
      Bringing up one's own kids puts these things in better perspective, right? :)

    And then we grow up but can be blessed by seeing the world through our children's eyes or our nephews and nieces:)

      Exactly what I just wrote in the comment above, Cheryl-Lynn. It's like experiencing childhood from a distance, but appreciating it more... :)
      Thanks!
