IF ONLY...

About the poem:  I thought about what would happen if I were a kid again, but with the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime!  I would really appreciate all the wonders of childhood the second time around!

If only I were a kid again

With the wisdom of my years…

I’d play all day and
           half the night...

‘Til  I ran out of steam!

I’d sleep all night and half the day....

‘Til  I ran out of dreams!

If only I were a kid again

With all the wisdom of my years

I’d truly be that wide-eyed kid

Pure, trusting and sincere

I wouldn’t change a single thing

I’d keep that sense of wonder

It beats the wisdom of my years

Those childhood days of wonder!

I wish I were a kid again!!!
