Innocence



Sadiksha Acharya

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

DOB: February 17th, 1995

 

Childhood is a sunny spring,

            Of sweet scented flowers

            And the sunny hills.

Childhood is a rollercoaster,

            Having difficult ups and downs

            But many happy endings.

Childhood is getting in trouble,

            And not being responsible for it.

Childhood is dancing in the rain

            With no worry for the future.

Childhood is believing in everything,

            And never doubting the

            Frightening stories that you hear.

Childhood is getting up in a weekday morning

            And pretending to be sick so     

            You won’t have to go to school.

Childhood is a memory of the earliest

            And the happiest times of your life.


Childhood is innocence.
