[PoeticWitch]

Oh how I want to be a kid again
To feel footloose and fancy free
To have imaginary friends
That lead me on adventures around the world
Without it costing me a dime

To dance around with total abandon
Not a care in the world
To be amused by the silliest of things
Because of my wild imagination
And not be judged as insane by the many adults

Sometimes being a grown up is totally over rated
I just want to time travel back to being a kid
Where things were simpler back in the day
But instead I will dream every night
Of being a kid once again

To love with my whole heart
My heart not yet tainted by bitterness
To live one day at a time
Because as a child
Tomorrow was not yet a reality

Oh to be a kid again
What I wouldn't give
To be a child once more
To think my parents knew everything
And that the sun rose and fell on them alone

To believe that all fairy tales are true
And Santa Claus kept a list
The Easter Bunny laid colorful eggs
That my birthday and Christmas
Were the best days of the year

Oh to be a kid again
I wish it was true
I never wanted to grow up
I just wanted to be a Toys-R-Us kid
But alas time moves forward

We grow up if we want to or not
But deep down in my very essence
My little girl waits
For a bit of freedom
Once more
