The wonder of a child’s stare,
 As once we climbed a tree on dare.
The humming, buzzing bee,
Ourselves did marvel at flurry-wings see.
Sharp green apples snatched,
High branches, contentment wrapped.
Unleashed from class,
Homeward dash.
Friends to play,
Blazing trails to stray.
Holiday fun-arranged,
Presents-exchanged.
Growing, planning, hoping, for my sake,
Dreaming awake.
Passion driven,
Conscience striven.
A world of
Could be…
Should be…
 Remember,
Youth’s promise,
When old-age,
Experience,
Pain and loss,
Strew life behind,
Remember,
And climb.
