GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #154

Don’t kill the child in you…..

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #153‘.

Good morning Friends,

We all want to grow up faster,
When we are, as children, small;
To jump from the title ‘Master’,
We want to be called ‘Mister Tall’.
Oh, to be a child again.
To walk on clouds, to play in the rain.

We wanted to be stronger,
And quickly gain more powers;
We wanted to wait no longer,
Neither years, months nor hours.
Oh, to be a child again.
To walk on clouds, to play in the rain.

It seemed all the wisdom on earth,
Would come our way as we grew;
It appeared we would soon be worth,
More than anyone thought or knew.
Oh, to be a child again.
To walk on clouds, to play in the rain.

Looking back it’s more than clear,
That was indeed life’s best time;
There wasn’t anxiety nor any fear,
To laze and laugh wasn’t a crime.
Oh, to be a child again.
To walk on clouds, to play in the rain.

Best were the dreams we then had,
To look at the future with aspiration;
Stepping on moon wasn’t seen as mad,
The mind didn’t entertain a limitation.
Oh, to be a child again.
To walk on clouds, to play in the rain.

The lesson then is not hard to find,
Grow up and learn all things new;
Simultaneously, keep this in mind:
Don’t ever kill the child in you.

….. you’d need it in your later years.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
