CHILDLIKE
Please let your inner child
Play
Laugh
Dance
Sing
Run around
Be naughty
like
Love
Dislike, especially sprouts
Never let your inner child:
Hurt
Fear
Feel lonely
Be sad
Cry sad tears
Be abused
Remain in the closet
Feel let down
Feel abandoned
Your inner child
Has the keys to your kingdom
Your sanity
Your heart
Mind and soul
Your health
If you allow
Your inner child to die
Anything good
That is in you
Will also die

Holding onto that beautiful innocence is not always easy .. but how happy our souls are when we let our inner child out to play ..

Macleod... what a delightfully spare... concise... and apt piece of poetry you have made... and plenty plain-speaking, as it should be...
Perhaps if we Humans would spend a little more time encouraging our inner child to play... after all... greed doesn't satisfy and has no nutritional value... whatsoever.
Thanks for the good write, sir. Ely
