The tale of Childhood

Golden days

I started my life at four
Viewed life as a stage floor
Where our role is being poor
Eating what there is
Unless you want to starve,
You can complain
but nothing will change

I remember every memory I had
The good days and the bad days,
As I wake up in the morning
With playing in my mind,
And finding something to eat
On the other side

you probably don't know
I had the wonderful childhood
you'd ever knew
Even though I cry a lot
but the laughters
I cannot count,

Have you played in the mud?
You might think I am mad
But I did played a lot,
Even treating mud as clay
So I can build a layers
Of what we called cake,

Those things happened in the past
Even showering in the rain
brought so much laugh
That any amount could not exchange
For happiness cannot be bought,
As the saying says

I was 7 when my parents united again
It was only my wishful thinking
But God made it happen
Reminiscing my grandma's words
She said, always pray,
And have faith.

Growing up, thought its much easier
Having so much knowledge
You can do anything,
But life isn't like that
before I could even step
I was already slap

So let us just go back in time
When you are still young and dumb
Do not know how people's mind run,
When life is still full of vitality
And you find every little thing
As valuable and can feel glee

Let us just go back in time
When you are still finding out
Why the moon following you around
Let us just go back in time
When there is still no pressure around
And the only thing you know is to have fun,
