When we were children,
We were timid, innocent, we were restless,
A world full of possibilities,
So overwhelming, it left us breathless,
Our dreams so fragile, like beads of rosary,
We thought they were timeless,
we learned to say goodbye too young,
ducked from words that left us defenceless,
Our broken toys were quick to be mended,
but our hearts were left so helpless.
