shuffling through the dirt,
un-cleaning your feet
tappin out your own beat,
a treat to find a little
froggy friend, end in being
soaked
fishin for trout, no one about
try catchin butterflies, tellin
little white lies, smile,
melt hearts, playin in ya billycart,
happy little chappy you are
everywhere at a run, so much fun
excited over the mundane,
watchin aeroplanes
in the sun the place to be
a paddock, with a hammock, what
better way to spend a day than
hard at play

As you are so I was
so enjoy little boy
before life takes hold
makes you old
heaps responsibility and
duty on ya shoulders
try to hold to bein young
and havin fun.

When you have nothing left but memories,
make sure they are worth having

Agree about the different tone on the two sections. Only thing I can say, here, is that I would perhaps have pushed the difference, making the second section (an adult's advice) more punctuated, to make it contrast even more with the free flow of the first section. Just an idea...

I love the simple innocence of this one. It is beautiful and real, reminds us of the simplicity of childhood. LOVE it!

Excellent!

The word play in the first part is delightful and then you have this nice smooth shift into a clear voice where you are telling the child something but it seems more like a distinctive voice than a bunch of information. You have so got the gift, buddy. Nobody learns this fast unless they do!
