The mind of a child

I wish I had the mind of a child 

to be ever so oblivious to problems 

that aren't mine 

building castles out of thin air 

and leading a nation that isn't there.

I wish I had the mind of a child 

Never feeling lonely because imagination always

had my side

spiteful comments never seemed to

hurt as much 

and on bad days a tiny sweet was just about enough.

I wish I had the mind of a child 

innocent and precious

and just a tad bit cheeky.
