Children! Children!!
The best gift from God
Always full of energy
In a world of their own
free from cares and worries

With a kiss of the sunlight
their energy seem to bubble and burst
the energy seems never unending
the energy is alwasy at it's peak
only interrupted by hooting of the Owl

With a salute from the king of the night
On their kneels they pray to God
praying for an extra hour
Oh! if it could be 25 hours in a day
Happy would they be all day long

Unfortunate natures denies them
that wonderful extra hour in a day
for nature's wonderful anaesthesia will call
call upon them Oh! slip
Where the dream of anothe joyful day

The earth glows, my childhood I Wonder over
Energy was my friend? I ask
Did I bubble with an undending strenth?
In my bone, energy seep
In my flesh, energy sap

Now! there is an abence of energy
where have you gone to?
Is it a mere dream?
I then realised i was aging
Was it a trick by nature .

I now wish for 23 hours a day
But nature is bent on 24 hours.
