The Child Within-me

Published by Family Friend Poems May 5, 2024 with permission of the Author.

The child within me,
A soul you cannot see,
Simplicity and innocence, as pure as it can be,
Purity, laughter, wings that set me free,

It's that child within me.
When I lower my shield,
My thoughts take me to an epic, green field,
I'll run and embrace the flowers,
I can linger there for endless hours.

My arms are wide open to help the world,
No one needs to ask or say a word,
I'll extend my hand to a poor little boy,
To make him happy, I'll give him my toy.

It's that child within me,
Who wants to laugh, play, and jump all day,
To cast away these world impurities without delay.

I didn't ask to grow,
I want my eyes to continue to glow,
My hair to flutter, move, and flow,
My true feelings to be clear and show,

It's the child within me,
That I want you to see,
Just clear, no fear,
That's who I am,
That child is me.
