To be a child again, one simply can’t; <br />Each phase of life when passed becomes the past; <br />Yet, childhood was the best in earthly life; <br />How different each one had looked in snap! <br /> <br />But children want to look like adults fast; <br />They love to act the way, their parents did; <br />And when they do, their parents enjoy much; <br />Yes, children love appreciation good. <br /> <br />The innocence of childhood can’t return; <br />Adults can dream but childhood won’t come back; <br />It was great fun to eat, dress, play and sing; <br />Our yesterdays have vanished forever.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-childhood/
