yesterday when we were small....

When we were small

The world never troubled us

We were happy playing our games

Sometimes we fell we cried

Outside world were nothing to us

We never viewed it as a threat to our lives

Our world just around the houses and gardens

The games of hide and seek

We thought our parents were giants

In our small eyes we were small

We stood still when they came

We were afraid to be crushed

Then the giants we found

They were kind and gentle

Sometimes they were hard on us

We thought it was for our pranks

The eyes of the small

Outside the homes were the threats

We were afraid of the darkness

We heard of tales of the ghosts

So we were happy around the houses

The children normally did when parents away

They played their games and made believe

Of the world outside their homes

But years passing on

Age became the older tales

The banishment of the young minds

The adults world came flying by

The innocent of the small eyes

They were gone when they grew

Into the world where the living

They fought to nourish their needs

The eyes glimpse of the future

The new frontiers opening their lives

The age of the small eyes

It is left behind....
