Childhood wonder glows,
Innocence in each new day,
Discovery's light.
---
Time drifts in child's play,
Laughter bright, night's gentle sleep,
Moments like sails sweep.
---
A cardboard box floats,
In seas of dreams, it gently
Slips away, a ship.
---
Questions bloom like stars,
In the night sky's endless blue,
Dreams and wishes spark.

The Cost
There is always a cost. Not the dramatic kind people imagine, not the cinematic sacrifice that earns applause, but the quiet, relentless toll that transformation demands. The cost begins long before you rise and continues long after you land. It threads itself through every choice, every boundary, every refusal to return to the version of yourself that once made survival look effortless.

"A cardboard box floats, In seas of dreams, it gently Slips away, a ship." Very touching lines for me. Appreciate your great attempt!
This was well-wrought and an exceedingly beautiful portrayal of the innocent wonder a child can experience.
I liked your poem.Well written.
The evocative imagery of glowing innocence, sweeping moments, and dreamlike adventures transport the reader to a realm of pure magic and discovery. This collection of haiku is a poignant and beautifully crafted tribute to the wonder and magic that lives within us all, no matter how much time may pass. Thank you for sharing!
Childhood is mystical and magic. Too bad is flies past so quickly and leaves us to only remember. Great poem. Made ME look back and remember.
