Childhood is all about those angelic eyes, innocent smiles.. lolipops and chocolates..the silly playfulness.. the carefree singing... the cute hugs.. meaningless fights that don't last.. the curiosity to know everything... the confidence to ask stupid questions and not feel dumb... the pure delight of a cold ice cream ticking the tongue.. the infectious laughter..those days in school.. the games hour and the after hour.. the clean and crisp uniform at the start of the day an then.... that was when life was simpler...
But as we grow up... each of these tend to fade away.. they fade away and make way for that self centered hugely boosted ego.. the stress trying to quest the pinnacles of success and glory... with no time to stand and stare at the beauty of life.. no time for near and dear ones.. that is how we made life duller..
Just a flashback to those days brings a radiant smile on most of our faces... then why have we complicated our lives to such an extent that the smile on our lips does not get reflected in our eyes..
Our life is all about our choices... why is it then that we don't make the choice to have that innocent and angelic smile.. why can't we see joys in those simple things in life??
it just reminds me of a poem i taught my little sister
We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
What is this life full of care??? leave yourself loose and enjoy the funfair...
