The spirit of a child

Give me the spirit of a child, so that I may argue and hold no grudge

So that I may fall in public and have no shame nor get embarassed

That spirit that would make me have nothing to hide nor dodge

So that I may do well and shamelessly scream 'Yes I passed!'

Give me that spirit of a child so that I may fall asleep wherever I please

So that I may humbly take corrections from my parents without getting angered

That spirit of a child, so that I may pray with all reverence whilst on my knees

Without having any feeling of my 'ego' being shattered

Give me the spirit of a child, so that I may run around the streets in my underwear

So that, I may have as much fun as I want to

Without having to worry about my image or any fear

That spirit, that makes me always want to try something new

Give me the spirit of a child so that I may look up yo heaven

Look at it as a place where I would have as much ice cream as my heart desires

So that I may think I'll be able to play as much games as I want even when am seventy seven

And ask as many questions as my brain fires!
