Innocence

See how happy children are

For no specific reason.

Why do adults always need

A reason to smile then?

Why can't everyone be happy

And smiling like the children?

They have their own worries,

Their own stresses and challenges.

But they do not crib and blame

Like adults always do.

They just get over the situation

With no false pride and

Without being stubborn.

Does growing up mean

Losing ability to accept facts

And still remain happy?

If yes, I would pray for children

Not to grow up and

Lose their innocence.

And I would pray for adults

To grow down a little

And dwell there forever...
