THE NEED OF CHILDHOOD
A childhood should be a special time for us all.
But sadly for some of us, it's not pleasant to recall.
There will always be events that can make us feel sad.
But with family and friends, the good will outweigh the bad.
It is the importance of a family caring not the things we acquire.
Even though there are things we see which we'll have desire.
But when we look back, it is the people in our life along the way.
And what they contribute to making what we have become today.
We learned the skills and possibilities of what we could be.
By experiencing of what we hear and the things that we see.
It should be a time when we have fun as we continue to grow.
And not be rushed to adulthood but able to take it slow.
A happy childhood gives us the foundation that we will need.
Increasing our chances of in life that we have the tools to succeed.
We should garner many enjoyable memories that we love to retell.
And be able to express that our childhood had gone very well.
Childhood should be a stage that we relish that special time.
As we can never get it back once we have left it behind..
So enjoy this time of your life, making the best of each day.
And think of the ones with a poor childhood or had it taken away.
