Let’s see the world with eyes of a child, Everything she sees is beyond its imagination
She sees the sky thinks it is nearer to me,
I will conquer a mountain and will touch it by my hand
she sees moon at night and thinks it is following all my way
She sees stars at night and tells Mom to give me one
But she doesn’t know it isn’t a small thing
It isn’t a toy to play with
She sees butterflies and wants to catch them in her hands
But doesn’t know it can die with my smooth touch
She sees rose and wants to pluck it
But doesn’t know its thorns will harm me
she wants to fall asleep every night watching sky with moon and twinkling stars around it
She never wants to go to school as she thinks it is great punishment for her
She waits for rain whole year so that she can make paper boats to float on water
She doesn’t know paper will get wet and boats will get drowned
She just enjoys them floating on water
She wants to play with sand and clay
she never thinks of her torn or dirty clothes
She just wants to play all day and night
She can give everything to a person who only smiles at her
But she doesn’t know world is so mean
she doesn’t know difference between right and wrong
Finally when she learns the difference
She doesn’t remain the same
Alas she is grown up!
