Back To Innocence

By Deeksha Agrawal

Little hands dig sand, making happy piles high

Chocolates kiss their cheeks, laughter catches the sky

Like tiny penguins they step, adorable sight

Didn't God make them precious, pure delight?

Cries fill the air for wants so small and true

One chocolate, milk that's tasty — that's what they pursue

Those tears speak softly to a mother's gentle soul

Her love wraps around them, making everything whole

We recall our own childhood with longing eyes

Wanted freedom then, wanted to touch morning skies

But now flashbacks come like whispers in night

Reminding us of joys both lost and felt so bright

We grew up caring , now we care in different ways

Love remains, like a thread that ties our days.

We took things light but  now we carry weight

Growing up happened, with love that doesn't fade.
