The Beaming Childhood of Ours

Went up and down,

In a trampoline.

Could still feel my giggles,

When it thumped me up again and again,

Wanting to go higher and higher.

Saw myself going round-and-round,

In a merry go round. 

Me holding up my innocence,

And running all the way around,

That was the happiness I found within.

Hands flying while sliding down from a slide,

Still could feel the enthusiasm I had.

People looked at me and smiled,

No- I was not shy to respond to them with a smile from my heart.

Time varied and so me,

Still the younger self of mine is smiling,

Somewhere there within me.
