Childhood Is <br /> <br />when the world to come <br />is an adventure to be met <br /> <br />Childhood Is <br /> <br />running and hiding <br />peeking around blind corners <br />hoping you have been followed <br /> <br />Childhood Is <br /> <br />ducking and diving <br />dreaming of being in the best <br />football team in the world <br />and scoring the winning goal <br />in the Cup FInal <br /> <br />Childhood Is <br /> <br />being the perfect person <br />(or not being caught out <br />when you're not being <br />the perfect person) <br /> <br />Childhood Is <br /> <br />a mass of contradictions <br />you don't want to unravel <br /> <br />Childhood Is <br /> <br />a nice cosy bed, <br />clean sheets <br />and Mummy's kisses<br /><br />Len Webster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/len-webster-s-childhood-is/
