Wish I Were A Kid Once Again! Poem by The Ashraf Sheikh

Wish I were a kid once again,
And open up my bare chest to the sky,
With the cool breeze kissing me all over,
And the fuzzy clouds passing by.

Wish I were a kid once again,
Running up and down the street,
Kicking the stones that lay ahead,
So easily with my feeble feet.

Wish I were a kid once again,
And for the pleasure of a sweet,
Would go wriggling down to Earth,
With shriek and yell that bore fruit indeed.

Wish I were a kid once again,
So that whenever I fell down,
There was always a promising hand,
To pick me up from the ground.

Wish I were a kid once again,
And life was as simple as A.B.C
No elaboration; no summary to make of it,
While singing to me my own beautiful odyssey.

Wish I were a kid once again,
Would’ve never thought of growing anymore,
For now, I knew what it was like,
To gain sense and wisdom for sure.

Wish I were a kid once again,
And this world to me a beautiful place,
Had a desire to refresh its current form,
From a Big Ball of Badness to grace.

Wish I were a kid once again,
And no word of friend or foe,
Would have the potential to hurt me,
To the bygone days, I wish I’d go.
