Childhood - past and now

Childhood - past and now

 

How sweet my childhood was!

Like a dawn dewdrop,

As sunshining summer noon

Spotting in the sudden rain.

 

How sweet my childhood was!

A session carried with books

Cheerfully I went to school

In simple clothes.

 

How sweet my childhood was!

Using rocks to play chess

Making mini straw shelter and selling things

So naïve and stupid.

 

How sweet my childhood was!

Time flies fast like a dream

How can I find those days?

Please return my childhood.

 


How poor my childhood was!

Full of envy and doubt

Blocking myself in autism

Being lonely and desolate.

 


How poor my childhood was!

Like a staggering ghost

Playing online games and living a virtual life

A whole dream is burrieds.

 

How poor my childhood was!

I do not know when I lost

As mobile phone, digital technology

Become a solitary tomb

 

Please give back my childhood… 

 

 

Vô Trí -Tâm Hoà
