World of a Child

Want to go into the world of a child?  
 Come and go with me.

Children know not as to when, where and why
They think they can do anything and reach the sky
They build mountains to climb and look to the top
To them it's just a skip and a hop.

They talk to the man in the moon
Tell him to move over and for them make room
They really believe that dreams come true
Their thoughts are things they can do.

A frog is a friend with which to talk
They can dream while they walk
Monsters in the closet and  under the bed
Are not just things that come in their head.

To them it's real, reality
They are not like you and me
We believe what we can touch and feel
But to them only their dreams are real.

So try once in a while to go into the world of a child
And you'll find on your face a perfect smile.
