Fearless childhood
A time when all things were possible
When parents were there to catch you
if you fell,
And stumble you did, often
and it was okay, because you were just learning
trying things for the first time,
exploring and discovering in equal ratio.
Then you had to grow up and you began to fear
all sorts of things
and some of them were real and could hurt you
and others existed in your over-active imagination,
the bit of you that refused to grow up.
You learnt to calm yourself down
and patch up your own wounds,
hide the scars of failure,
falling down again and again.
Nowadays, you would
run from a bear,
despite knowing
the best
thing to do
is to
stand still.
