Honouring the child inside

Remember as a young child,
What it was to feel,
That trees could talk
And fairies danced
And all your dreams were real

Remember as a young child
The magic that you felt
Examining the undergrowth
The earth on which you knelt

Remember as a young child
The music that you heard
That made you want to dance and twirl
And sing to every word

Remember as a young child
Thinking you could fly
Jumping off the tallest chairs
Reaching for the sky

Remember as a young child
Watching rivers flow
Observing ripples that you made
With stones that you would throw

Remember as a young child
How it used to be
When every night the sandman came
And angels you would see

Remember as a young child
How you would want to write
And once the coloured pens came out
You’d want to write all night

Remember as a young child
The joy in every day
When life it seemed was one big game
You couldn’t wait to play

Never lose that inner child
The one who loves to play
That playful child you are inside
Seems to know the way.
