When...

When standing alone in the beach did not seem lonely,
When salty water did not mean tears only
When worries, fears and solitude were lost in some isolated land,
That is where my childhood stands
Eternal in my mind
Instilled in my soul
Hidden under the now made up faces
Veiled under His tough plans!

Then when my arms were not even long enough to clutch mum’s waist,
And her half girth hug did soothe my hearts haste.
When the softest out of the hard beds to me did mum provide
That is where my childhood does hide
Eternal in my mind
Instilled in my soul
Waiting for that very feeling of her being around
Picking up piles of smiles from innocent whiles!

When words did not cut the soul,
When burning eyes did not turn down efforts
When people all around were life size dolls
But hearts were no playthings at all
That is where my childhood freely swung
Eternal in my mind
Instilled in my soul
Coffined under the aspirations of a smooth flight into this world!
