"Resilience"

In the depths of life's unforgiving tide,

Where burdens weigh upon shoulders wide,

There lies the truth of adult strife,

A tale of hardships shaping our life.

Once, we danced in the realm of dreams,

In childhood's bliss, where sunlight gleams.

Oh, how the world was a wonderland,

As innocence held us in its gentle hand.

But time marches on, and we must grow,

From carefree laughter to the weight we know.

Responsibilities loom like heavy clouds,

And shadows cast upon our youthful shrouds.

Oh, how we long for those carefree days,

When worries were but distant haze,

When laughter echoed through open air,

And time was measured in friendships fair.

Now, we navigate a labyrinth of toil,

Searching for purpose through the daily moil.

Struggles and setbacks become our guide,

As we traverse the valleys far and wide.

But amidst the chaos and adult plight,

Memories of childhood, like stars, alight.

In the recesses of our weary souls,

The beauty of innocence forever holds.

The joy of skipping without a care,

The taste of ice cream, sweet and rare,

The wonder of discovering life's firsts,

In memories, childhood's treasure bursts.

Through the struggles and uphill climb,

We carry fragments of a simpler time.

For in the face of life's bitter test,

The purity of childhood brings solace best.

So let us cherish those golden years,

When dreams were boundless, free from fears,

And may the hardships we endure today,

Lead us back to the innocence we sway.

For in the tapestry of life we weave,

Childhood's threads will never leave.

And as we face the challenges ahead,

May we hold onto the beauty childhood shed.
