A Child Once Again

ORAL VILLAGE IDEAS

A Child Once Again

1. All days are equal not so says the Book

Like the flowing river from its source

Returning to source it may pray for

In vanity the hopes would appear

2. When behold I children out

Of their slumber and spraying shout

At corners of their loving homes

A child once again, I wish I were

3. Hand in Hand out they go roaming

Their voices on top flow screaming

Pitched carelessly a speculative role

A child once again, I’m praying

4. Never tired though ever running

Heart intact though ever jumping

Packed emotions toward firing love

A child once again, I profess

5. Childhood remembered, joy lingering

Nostalgic freedom, beaming protection

Inspiring aspirations future brightly brightening

A child once again, I call upon

6. Cracking at tests the brain not the brawn

In the air above searching the answers

Unintentionally, the tip of the writing stick eaten

A child once again, I wish, I were.
