Sometimes we need to heal our childhood self
to just feel back when times were quiet
a box of rice crispies falling off the top shelf
where milk and cereal were the only diet
a selection box where you never wanted cornflakes
but it was so exciting to take your pick
sometimes thats all it would really take
to make your whole day feel more magic
bouncing on the trampoline in your school shirt
before Mom would call you in for tea
white, now covered in leaves and dirt
building a den with bedsheets under a tree
Today I decided to watch Winnie The Pooh
to connect with the child inside me
to feel that peace, and to say thank you
for playing in the sun under that tree
as that’s when my love for nature grew
playing in the garden until the sun sleeps
sometimes I need to reach the girl I once knew
to take back those memories that she keeps
