Childhood

 

Do Not Rush

Hold on!

Do not rush into tomorrow.

Too soon

childhood will be done

and all the years

that lie before you then

will not be simple ones

even when you rest

on the border in-between

innocence

and grown up dreams.

Do not leap ahead

eager to shed

what you will one day

long for, tenderly

and wish you had instead

Kumari.
