Childhood's canvas, vibrant and wide,
A world of wonder, where dreams reside,
Laughter and magic, in every place,
A time of innocence, a smile on every face.

But as we grow, and years go by,
Complications creep, and wonder why,
Responsibilities weigh, and worries too,
Adulthood's complexities, we never knew.

So let us cherish, these early days,
And hold them close, in every way,
For though we'll grow, and learn, and roam,
Childhood's beauty, will forever be our home.

Fear not the future, nor its unknown,
For growth and learning, will make you strong,
Embrace each moment, with heart so free,
And know that childhood's joy, will always be a part of thee.

But oh, how fleeting, these moments are,
So let us bask, in their beauty rare,
For soon we'll face, the world outside,
And adulthood's challenges, will be our guide.

So let us play, and laugh, and dream,
And cherish every moment, or it seems,
For childhood's beauty, is a precious thing,
And though it fades, its memory will sing.
