In fields of green where wildflowers bloom
Under skies of endless blue
I ran with joy
no thoughts of gloom
A child with dreams so new.
Laughter echoed through the trees
A symphony of innocence
Time stood still, a gentle breeze
In moments of pure brilliance.
The world was wide
a playground vast
Each day a fresh adventure
In my heart, those times held fast
A treasure trove, a rapture.
Climbing trees and chasing light
Feet bare on sunlit paths
Whispers of the stars at night
A life untouched by wrath.
Through the years
I’ve grown and changed
Yet something stays the same
A spark within, a heart unchained
A love for childhood’s flame.
Though the world turns and years unfold,
And age we can’t deny
Deep inside, I’m still consoled,
By the child who never says goodbye.
In moments quiet, I return,
To fields where dreams began,
A part of me will always yearn,
To hold a younger hand.
For memories are like the stars,
That light our darkest skies,
And though life’s journey takes us far,
A child within us lies.
