In response to V. J’s weekly challenge # 62, CHILDHOOD/CHILD
Childhood, a beautiful phase of life
where the soul radiates an innocent aura
the heart devoid of any malice,
forgiveness is a virtue to swear by
abundant echoes of laughter resonate
ย tiny delights translate to happiness
the questioning mind experiments
dreams take a fancy flight to fantasy
ingenious creativity sparks unique solutions
simplicity defines each moment.
Then,
Why as we grow into adults do we bury
these genuine and transparent qualities
ย in the sands of time?
Awww, those days of innocence. Love this, beautiful ๐

So true, Radhika. I wonder why we as adults, we let go of these childly God like qualities and embrace the demons of adulthood โฆ

My question too….guess the society moulds us that way Deepika.

Itโs painful to consider, isnโt it? And yet, I think it is true of most of us, that the magic of childhood loses its lustre. Love how you have structured this.

Thanks so much VJ. Yes unfortunately very few among us manage to keep that child in us alive as we grow.

Adulthood most certainly steals many qualities from our younger, innocent selves. Thatโs beautifully written, dear! ๐
