To Know Not Change
by
Robin Burrows
Oh to be a child again
And to believe the world of now
Will last forever
And to fear not
The things I cannot know
And know not
The fear of change.
Oh to be a child again
When the world
Would last forever
Best friends
Now and always
Same street
Same hills
Same people
Same life.
Oh to be a child again
When dreams,
However impossible,
Seemed closer
Were closer
Without the burdens
Of reality’s great hands
Upon my shoulders.
Oh to be a child again
And know not change.
Motivation: I was going through a lot of major changes in my life, when I wrote this poem. It came out of my musings during that time-period and a desire for a more stable, familiar, comfortable world.
Bio:I am a graduate of Hendrix College and work in themarketing department at a regional nonprofit organization. I spend my free time writing both poetry and prose. I am currently working on the manuscript for my first novel, and I have two poems scheduled to be published.
