The Second Childhood...!

Just when I was a kid,
I never felt the burden of any responsibility,
Everything was so filled with innocence,
Everything full of sanctity.

When I grew up,
Life was never again simple,
Such rough patches,
My skin's wrinkle.

Today I stand alone,
Like an oak tree,
I see these children,
Climbing the mountains in a spree.

I've lost all my glory,
Lost the twinkle in the eye,
The dull remembrance of everything,
All frozen up within.

Tonight as the sun sets,
When I am growing old by another day,
I have a wish in my heart,
Do not cry, just remember me all day!
