If I had to live forever I would be a child, like both of them….
Listening to the sound of waves, banging into hem
Carefree, innocent, funny, would love to dream all day along
Lying on rocks, swimming in water and singing a song….
Observing the world, sense of hearing would be strong,
A pure heart with twinkling eyes , childhood is golden age
Poets have expressed so beautifully this first stage
How much scared I was to grow old
Now I have past that stage, became bold
I want to be what I’m, comfortable in my skin
Wisdom gained, experienced hands, kith and kin
Handle work and home together, remain in spin
A wife, a mother who finds happiness around her sons
He plays the drum and I enjoy the beats, love the music sessions
He has conquered his fear of forgetting beats during performance
No phobia, he goes and give it all he has, in the audiance

So very beautiful words, Rashmi! The first photo captured the innocent age and fun time. Great photo of your son playing the drum! 🙂
I have used it earlier for previous prompts also, its my favorite for many reasons.
Only you can make a prompt so perfectly poetic 🙂
Now that’s a compliment Andy. You too are a marvelous poet ! 🙂
(Blush)!!
You are one proud Mama, that was a beautiful post! 🙂
It feels good to see your young ones growing up in talented adults. Thanks Zee.
Very nicely written. Your son looks quite professional on the drum set.
Beautiful as always, what a bright spot in between some really boring posts 🙂
From one mommy heart to another…I cherished this piece.
I would come back as a child as well. They remember what it’s like to
be in the moment and just be themselves…create, explore, have fun.
Thank you.
