like a child
I lay next to you
holding on
never wanting to move
because
I only want to live in the now
like a child
I do not know tomorrow
because all I know is today
I don't want to stop what I am doing
sleep is just an annoyance
like a child
I run to you with open arms
wanting a hug and a kiss
then I want to play
for as a child this all I know
like a child I want to grow up
but it seems so far away
that it is just a dream
no reality in the future
I live so contently in the now
my life is full of love
full of laughter
full of smiles
if I hurt
a hug eases the pain
If I stumble
I am righted again
there is no failure
there is no time
there is only the now
let me be
like a child again
