Love Being Kids Poem by Raj Arumugam

love being kids;
love just growing;
love all the fun
and all the lollies


we play in the fields
and we play at the creek;
we play computer games
and watch TV and DVDs


mum sends me to school
and there’s a line
of 4-wheel drives
outside school;
dad reads me stories
and mum and dad turn
the lights off for me
when I’m ready to sleep


O just love being kids;
love just growing;
love all the fun
and all the lollies


we share lunch
and compare notes:
and we decide amongst ourselves
between classes, which is better:
peanut butter sandwich
or bread with tomatoes and onions?



we get nana visiting us
or we visit nana and grandpa;
and we visit our neighbors and
we often go places
though the beach is always my favorite


love being kids;
love just growing;
love all the fun
and all the lollies



we got kids from everywhere now:
we got Tom, and Mingxi and Ravi;
and we got Pedro and Akito and Lucy;
and we’re all one big bunch of kids
loving it being kids and growing



oh just love being kids;
love just growing;
love all the fun
and all the lollies
