Like A Child Again Poem by Carmina Abrenica

How I wish I was a child again like you
Where the only thing that hurts is a needle prick
Eventually relieved by a toy car or a brick
Not even noticing being unwell and symptomatic

Oh how I wish I was a child again
Where medicine is the only thing difficult to take
Unlike now things said and done cause an easy break
But we learn from mistakes, the good to give and make

I go home either with a smile or frown
As I remember countless moments of my ups and downs
And how to extend hands to touch more people's lives
Even if it entails catching a thousand knives

As I recall everything children amazingly do
The memory paints my day a different hue
At the end of the rainbow, a life has been changed anew
Oh how I wish I was a child again just like you
