NaPoWriMo Day 3 – A Child Again
Day three for NaPoWriMo is all about my daughter. She is on her Easter holidays at the moment and it’s all about playtime :). Watching her play sometimes makes me wonder just what I thought about when I was her age. She’s my inspiration for a poem today.
A Child Again
Makes up songs only she understands
Sometimes has me in the palm of her hand
Full of joy and full of laughter
Shouts so much she raises the rafters
The dances we watch, she puts on a show
What they’re about goodness only knows
Open up a six year olds mind
Ponies and playgrounds is what you’ll find
Oh how I wish to venture there
A child again without a care!
