When I was a child...

When I was a child I laughed as one, spoke as one, and thought as one. When I grew older, I did not put the childish things away. The innocence and joy of childhood is never lost on me, but stored away to reappear in smiles, quiet moments and long sighs. I could never let go of the little child who loved freely, no matter how many bills I pay, jobs I do, forms I fill out, arguments I have, the inner child is innately present. Always bringing me back to a simple love and showing me the joy that can be found in small things....
