Through a child's eyes

Can you see all that I can see
Silly squirrels clamber gnarly trees
Catch me, I dare you if you can
Or have you now forgotten me
Laughter faded into memory echoes
In empty narrowing dusty corridors
Your mind on schedules, appointments
Mine on sunshine, crayons and teddy
You have tried to shut me out
Now that you are all grown up
Under your skin I still get the giggles
While you are worn down by trivialities
Repressed by the daily stress of life
Numbers crunching, figures blurring
I see funny patterns in the clouds
Passing days and nights speed by
You didn't see it did you; always busy
The nice man was smiling at you
It's raining! Puddles and mud
Are you still worrying Miss Frowny
Tomorrow will be a good day
If you stop to smell the roses
A skip in your step, a smile on your face
I like warm fuzzies and tickles
Lemme out! I am good for you
I know you know I am here
That you think of me fondly
Reach inside and touch me
Let your inner child out
I'll make a mess, laugh and shout
It will be fun seeing things
Through a child's eyes again
