Take me there,
Where only hope prevails,
Disappointments always fails!
Take me there,
Where happiness is dominant,
Only smiles are prominent.
Take me there,
Where tears are temporary,
And failures are unheard of!
Take me there,
Where fears don't exist,
And quitting is not an option!
Take me back,
To the days of innocence,
To the childhood that was carefree!
Oh I wish so much,
That I could go back,
And re-live those days again!
Where only hope prevails,
Disappointments always fails!
Take me there,
Where happiness is dominant,
Only smiles are prominent.
Take me there,
Where tears are temporary,
And failures are unheard of!
Take me there,
Where fears don't exist,
And quitting is not an option!
Take me back,
To the days of innocence,
To the childhood that was carefree!
Oh I wish so much,
That I could go back,
And re-live those days again!

DeleteEach one of us has that dream somewhere to go back to the days of innocence, to our childhood! And as a child we had dreamed of growing up! Such is a life. Though it is always beautiful to look back at the fond memories of our childhood! :)
ReplyDeleteTrue Shesha! We wanted to grow up fat but now I think why? Those days were the best! I guess, that is how life is, wishing to have something else than what we have!
DeleteI luv the play of the wish metaphorically imposed into the prompt
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
Thanks Gillena :)
DeleteYes wouldn't it be nice to be able to go back to those carefree days of childhood just for a day. Sigh...this is an impossible dream but fun to fantasize about. Nice seeing you at Poetry Jam.
