children run around
innocence is abundant-and laughter the wrong sound
their joy clashes with our sorrow
but we'll wait and see what comes tommorow
for all innocence lost, guilt is gained
its the way of life
theres no escape
and my carefree days, where did they go?
I will never see them that is all I know
it seems like my love for life and many things
were just suddenly taken by the wind
taken by the wind- along with my innocence
I'd try to hang on to it
but it's out of our hands
we cant mess with life, and life's demands
they'll soon realize how high the cost
for there is no greater loss
than innocence lost

Welcome to Passions!!

This is a really sad poem. We all long for that childhood innocence. You describe the feelings well. Keep up the great work!

Wow...this is such an amazing piece!  I used to feel this way, until I came to Jesus.  Jesus totally showed me the joy in life, and how things CAN be carefree once and a while.  You can lay down EVERYTHING in your life at His feet, and He takes the burden.  You are a child again in His eyes.  I hope you can feel the same joy I feel everyday once again!    
God Bless and Keep Smiling  
P.S.- You are such a wonderful poet!

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:3
