Never Grow Up

Author's Note: It's the last day of April, one with a lot of sun too. I found this picture online, and I guess, it spoke to me. It reminded me of a great childhood I lived. So I wrote a poem. I've never responded to a picture before, so I gave it a go. I hope you can connect to your past and those great memories! Enjoy! 

I dream of flying,

Out into the well lit sky.

My childhood was full of

Happiness, excitement, and tranquility.

I wish I could go back in time,

And never grow up.

No stress, no pain,

It was a time of pure innocence.

I had something to look forward to,

With no guilt.

There was no greed,

Or no sorrow.

I wish I could go back in time,

And never grow up.

I could be me,

Everything I wanted to be.

There was no one to judge,

It was unforgettable.

A society of nothing,

But free spirits.

I wish I could go back in time,

And never grow up.

There was no pressure on me,

And my future self.

My heart was filled,

With joy and a clear conscience.

Everyone was pure,

With free will.

Some days,

I wish I could go back in time.

And,

Never.

Grow.

Up.
