Life as a child <br /> Is Free and wild <br /> <br /> There are so many friends <br /> There is no end <br /> <br /> We laugh we smile <br /> Yet all the while <br /> <br /> Little do we know <br /> That some day <br /> <br /> We will be old <br /> <br /> Old Age <br /> <br /> We learn to hate <br /> It comes with age <br /> <br /> The child in us <br /> Has made the grade <br /> <br /> And we teach our young <br /> That life is fun <br /> <br /> To love to trust <br /> Is in all of us <br /> <br /> The child sits on boney knees <br /> But a twinkling eye <br /> Hides the hate in me<br /><br />Jack A.
