Childhood - ‘The spring of life’

There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again. Childhood is a wonderful time... a fantasy world of our own with our own ideas... curiosity... the pleasure and excitement of discovering something new... a world of dreams.

It is truly said that children are like the wet clay, they modify themselves as we want them to.

Childhood is an important period of our life. It is the time where the main part of our personality is developed. For a not small amount of people, childhood is the time we struggle to earn a living and learn how to survive in the world. However, from my experience and the major part of those friends around me, those years in childhood are definitely memorable and full of happiness and caring. The main reason is that childhood is the time we receive the love, caring from a lot of people. Another reason is that childhood is a time that we live so freely without any worries.

The greatest poem ever known

Is one all poets have outgrown:

The poetry, innate, untold,

Of being only four years old,

If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older. The childhood shows the man

as morning shows the day -

At last I would like to say that

I’d give all wealth that years have piled,

The slow result of Life’s decay,

To be once ore a little child

For one bright summer day.
