“I WANTED TO BE BIG… NOW I WANT TO BE LITTLE AGAIN”

GROWING UP AS KID I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE BIG,

NOW THAT I AM AN ADULT I WISH I COULD RETURN TO MY YEARS AS A KID,

LIFE GOES BY SO FAST MEMORIES OF ALL THAT I DID,

FREE AS CAN BE, FREELY I ONCE LIVED,

NOW SO MANY LAWS AND RULES -MUCH BACK TO GIVE,

LEARNED MANY LESSONS, AND EVEN AS AN ADULT IT’S STILL  SO VERY FLUID,

SOMETIMES AS AN ADULT I WISH FROM LIFE AT TIMES I COULD’VE HID,

THOUGHTS AND PRESSURES OF EVERYDAY WEREN’T UPON ME LIKE THIS,

LOOKING BACK I NOW SEE THE BEST YEARS WERE IN MY YOUNGER DAYS – PURE BLISS,

THE FREEDOM TO ROME AND RUN FREE TROUBLE FREE PLAYING OUTSIDE CREATED A LIFE TROUBLE-LESS,

LIFE BRINGS ME BACK AND I AM THANKFUL TO SNAP OUT OF IT,

I HEAR THE LAUGHTER AND SWEET VOICE OF MY OWN FOUR KIDS,

WHICH BRINGS ON THE ENCOURAGEMENT,

PROMPT MESSAGE THAT I SHARE WITH MY OWN TO LIVE EVERYDAY- LIVE, LIVE, LIVE!!

SO MAYBE WHEN YOU ARE AN ADULT YOU WON’T FEEL THE WANT OR NEED TO GO BACK TO PREVIOUS DAYS LIVED,

IT’S OK TO REMINISCE,

JUST SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY ALL OF IT,

EVEN IF A LITTLE BIT,

RIGHT NOW, THIS SECOND, THIS VERY MOMENT,

YOU’LL HAVE YOU’RE CHANCE TO BE BIG,

DO ALL THAT YOU WISH,

NOW I WANT TO BE LITTLE AGAIN THOUGHTS DISMISSED,

CHILDHOOD IS SO VERY MUCH CHERISHED,

NOW THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LIFE I INHERIT,

PASSED ON THE TOOLS TO  DO MORE THAN MAKE IT THRU AND GRIN AND BARE IT, 

I POLISH THOSE TOOLS SO THAT MY OWN CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO USE AND SHARE IT, 

SO THEY TOO MAY PASS ON THE RULES AND TOOLS OF LIFE WHEN THEY TOO BECOME PARENTS, 

LIFE GOES FAST SO ENSURE YOU EMBRACE, ENJOY, AND HAPPINESS YOU INHERIT, 

I WANTED TO BE BIG…..NOW I WANT TO BE LITTLE AGAIN THANKFUL, SAVOURED, CELEBRATED, 

CHERISHED.
