AN HONOUR TO BE A CHILD..

To wake up with the hope of setting everything right

To look all around with curious eyes 

To hop jump and skip at the idea of going out

Ever and always eager to help people about

With so much time in their hands to mould a beautiful future

With so much zeal and energy to prove their worth to everybody near

To see the biggest gesture in the smallest deed

To get excited even at finding the smallest seed 

The world where mothers hug is the sign of the entire earth's love

Where 'getting high' means 'riding high on a swing'

Where 'drinking' means 'sipping apple juice'

Where 'dad' is the only 'hero of all times'

Where the only thing that can hurt is 'skinned knees'

Where the only things that can break are 'toys and window panes'

Where 'Goodbyes' mean 'only till tomorrow'

Where 'qualification' means 'scoring highest at school'

Where friend means anybody u can talk to

Where school means the second home you get to go to

To have unadulterated innocence at heart

To sleep cuddled tight, every night

To smile at your dreams while you sleep

Oh my God! Childhood is such a bliss to keep.

Indeed childhood is a bliss. I remember wondering as a child, how good it would be to be an adult and do things the way you like. Now i feel so amused at my innocence! I look at the children around me and i find myself thinking, "if only they learn to differentiate the right and wrong well their lives could be all so worth while and what a beautiful time of their life they have now." Be SIMPLE Be HAPPY, goes the slogan. the very thought is so relaxing. And as piercing is the thought of seeing children not as children but as adults in the form of labourers or in terms of manipulated up bringing. Childhood once gone cannot be regained or accepted in the same terms as actual childhood is, at some later age of responsibility. It stands much as a moral duty to see to it that childhood of every child is left as sheer childhood and nothing else, although usually situations do not stay that compatible for everyone, never the less we could try. And coming to think of it, its a fact that little bit of child stays in every adult. sometimes peeking into it, is actually a pleasant retreat....
