                                    Being a child means innocence
                                     Fun
                                     Love
                                     Imagination
                                     Awe at the world
                                     Discovery
                                     Learning

                                    Being a child means
                                     No worries
                                     Being cared for
                                     Safety
                                     Love

                                    Until that is lost
                                    ripped away by age
                                    Must it be this way?

                                    Who's to say?
                                     Not, I
                                    For life has taught
                                     the child must die

                                    But I have found
                                    The child still lives
                                    Deep within us all
             
                                    For those with strength
                                    This child can thrive
