maru maru mori mori!

the joy that a child brings

is incomparable to anything

the innocence in their virgin vision

the innate virtuosity that is sung
to be a kid again
without a worry in the world
swirling about with a carefree spirit
laughing out loud with all one's might
running every which way
unconcerned with direction
feeling the wind in one's hair
swinging on tree branches
soaking in the sun
sliding down snow hills
rolling in deep leaves
smiles that cannot be erased
hearts full of joy and fun
climbing hills for the thrill
so free so free
without any consequence
I want to be a child again
and feel the rush of freedom
to be, to play, to laugh, to scream
I want to breath as a child does
purely, wholly
without fear or doubt
just flying in the air
and floating without care
of what comes next
relishing in the moment
knowing I am loved and cared for
this is what being a child
means to me.
