I am Still A Child

I will not look back
Neither shall i look far ahead..
But i hope you to be with me ...
Till dark..where life shall fade.

I will laugh off the worries..
And take a stride ahead to joy ...
For u shall seek happiness..
In this idle but still a loving boy.

Smile shall glow over my face..
And lighten up ur life's song...
I just want a bit of warmth...
of joy..with u .. where i truly belong.

I look at myself in the mirror..
And shake my head with a gentle smile....
For i am still a child.. who needs love..
And glimpse of u and joy awhile.
