Oh! Little kids

Oh! Little kids,
I wish I could be like you,
Thousand miles away from those curveballs,
That life throws inevitably.
When I look at you playing merrily,
Through my window,
All I could do was sigh,
Sigh at my childhood that passed by.
I admire your carefree and innocence,
Being unaware is a blessing in disguise,
As you, no longer have to think, on
Any matters that your mind hasn’t explored.
How captivated I become
With your infectious smile,
That comes from a flawless manifestation
Of your soul’s innocence and purity.
You played in all seasons,
Whether it snowed or rained,
Without caring about any consequences,
By losing yourself in moment; present.
I was in awe of your discipline,
When you followed your teacher, in line,
You walked patiently by
Observing everything around you.
I wish I could be like you,
Lost in the world of curiosity, dreams,
Selfless friendship and infinte exploration,
Of the world where I live.

P.S: I dedicate this poem to those little kids whom I watch from my window in Matinkylรค. There’s a school, a primary school, just in front of my apartment and I love watching kids playing in front of the school. There’s a small playground in front of the school where there are a variety of swings. I have seen them playing in all seasons; in winter or summer. I admire seeing them walking in a queue, following their teacher, when on a visit to a nearby area.
This poem has
been composed for the prompt of NaPoWriMo 2024 Day-18:
