How I wish that the kids with biggest hearts never grow....
How I wish we reap the benefits of the wisdom seeds they sow!
How I wish pure and trusted - it always stays, that love!
How I wish the wonderment in eyes and the joy in the heart stays intact as a treasure trove!
How I wish the fantasies we nurtured never turned to realities
How I wish we didn't have to face the adulting cruelties
A lie - a sham which every one says that once you grow you can have it all...
And that once you grow - you decide your life and can make a call!
How I wish, the precious childhood could always stay
How I wish I stopped for once the roles I play
How I wish the world to always be easy, happy and we could let things slide!!
How I wish I could talk to someone and feel like I can be myself and never feel tired!
How I wish at least one person conversed attentively feeling happy and engaged!
How I wish when we are sad, we don't have to get dismissed!
How I wish the child in me was once in a while acknowledged,
How I wish it would have been easier to share, talk a lot, or shed a tear - if at all someone listened !
How I wish we never grew, and stayed warm in the childhood cocoon
Should I be happy, that childhood is the only boon where I was always over the moon!
The cocoon breaks and the butterfly comes out in vibrant hues!
But how I wish to feel that cocooned warmth just once again till they end - "the blues"!
