***! ! The Kid Inside Me*#

Rating: 3.3


Behold, a marvelous sight!
A handsome Boy from morning to night,
Self-reliant, self dependant and oh so brave.
No one's king and no one's knave.

Free as his father, strong like a mother,
A friend whose love exceeds any brother.
A boyfriend to girls of many faces,
Sharing intimate secrets in quiet places.
A valient steed, a silent step, a bird in flight,
Charging; marching, piercing through with light.

He is smart, they say.
Some look once; and think, no way!
He is small and quick.
Too many choices to even pick,
That which holds his quality;
Care, kindness, equality.

In sharing joy and making jokes,
with numerous mates and friendly folks.

To say that; this is, or has ever been me,
Would be outcasting my Karin and V.
So for now it shall continue to be;
The Kid, the King I strive to be.

Nkulu this was a wonderful read - thank you. Why when we grow up do we feel we have to lose our original personality. If only the whole world could find their inner child again what an amazing world it would be :) 10/10
