Childhood and Innocence
Say Cheese
Looking for the green smell in crisp gold
The heart seeks solace in reminiscence
Nostalgia becomes that sweet pain
That balms the scars of today
Gone are the days
Of mellow smiles
That shone in eyes
That did not carry the burden
Of being grown up.
-----------------------------------------------------
Do you realize how old you are?
Act your age.
Act mature.
Act responsible.
Act sensible. Behave
How can you laugh so uncontrollably?
That too at something so stupid !
Keep a stern face.
Be Serious.
Stop doing this,
Stop doing that.
It does not suit you
Stop grinning this way.
Stop being so silly.
Stop making mischief.
Stop getting cheap thrills out of small things.
Stop playing pranks.
Stop laughing.
Stop smiling this way.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
This is what kids do,
Not adults.
At this age?
You got to be kidding me.
That's more like it.
Calm and composed.
Not an emotional sentimental Fool .
That's how we grown-ups should be.
An example.
Now where were we?
O yeah...
Such a pretty picture
You were a really cute child
And O my !
What a smile?
Precious.
Just too precious for words.
