All Deviations


Sitting and thinking of nothing at all
There’s such a great time between now and next fall.
The leaves rustle in trees that will be bare
But you play on the lawn with not a care.
There’s such a freedom in an innocent mind,
Everything is right if not everyone is kind.
Laughing and playing
Jumping and swaying.
The imagination is free to fly
As the years slowly pass by.
To see things in black and white…
That would be such a sight.
Little ones are something to treasure
For their love of life is not something you can measure.

I read a signature at the bottom of one of my friends posts and I found that it got me thinking about being a kid. The quote went like this:
"I remember when getting high meant swinging at the playgrounds. The worst thing you could catch from a boy hewas cooties. Race issues were who could run the fastest. The only thing you smoked were the tires on your bike. Life was so simple and carefree, But what I remember most was wanting to grow up..."

It made me think of all the things we leave behind when we grow up. Its kind of sad to lose the innocence of a kid and to finally see things as they are. Not long ago I was one and I find that I miss seeing things so simply but there really is no going back. Thing is to have fun like one once in a while and remember.
