Longing

How i long to run barefoot through the grass.
How i wish for the days of my youth when
i was carefree and had no pains or aches in my heart.
When my hearts desire was just growing up to be a wife and a mother.
I long for the days before my views of this world became jaded.
When i could lay on a blanket and stare up at the blue sky,

Clouds passing by above me.
Twirling and spinning as i daydreamed about what lie ahead.

Oh how i long for those days, to be childlike.
