Childhood

being a child is the best part in life

Childhood was a time of joy ,
Childhood was a time for toys;

I never knew time would change,
I never thought I would change.

Love for me was simple hearted,
Love for me now feels disdained,

Friends do come and friends do go;
But childhood friends I'll not let go,

Beautiful memories of hills and streams,
Pleasent memories of willow trees.

When I look at the stars tonight,
I remember those kisses goodnight,

The moon for me looks like a big hare ;
Now it looks like silver ware,

Peter Pan was real enough ,
But now I say it's foolish stuff.

For I have faced so much in life ,
My soul has faded with times goneby,

I wished those days were here again;
I thank our God for giving them.
