Childhood never ends
When you stop
To look at the full moon
And utter soft whispers
To the starlit sky
When you climb trees
Or play in roadside puddles
And dance in the rain
in gay abandon
When doubts rise from your bosom
And your eyes light up in wonder
When you move from one task to another
Without loss of energy
When you see no divisions
in colour, caste, race or religion
When you can laugh with joy
Or dance like nobody’s watching
Then there is a child in you
Brimming with boundless joy
Who knows only love
And Childhood never ends
