Stay Baby (Kid) Forever
I always feel wonder looking at babies. I always wish that they stay our baby, always, forever. In Early adulthood I realized the Gujarati saying " મોટા એટલા ખોટા" and "बच्चे दिल के सच्चे". Now a days I am thinking and wishing about few kids named, Hiya (3 Year) , Prisha (2 Year), Aavana (3 Months). What I thought , I tried to enact in this poem. Hope you all will like it. All suggestions are accepted and will improve this. You can also add your lines in comment to complete this poem. I am still thinking.
Hey honey ,
I request you to remain baby
For 100years, forever,
Don't need to be mature adult,
Just stay baby forever.
If you become little older,
You have to go to the school;
with bag on your shoulder,
Books will be your friends in your hands,
But now your hands are pretty cool.
People say
Open thy mind, walk alone,
I telling stay baby
We, whole your world
will be your drone.
People say,
To live happy
must forget your past,
But I telling stay baby,
With your memories
Win the hearts till our last.
If you become mature,
You may fall in love,
One may break your heart,
(One may stay with you even)
I telling stay baby,
You don't need to fall anywhere,
You will always remain our dove.
When you reach to college,
Maturity may give you things many,
If you stay baby,
No need to keep any, (kind of maturity)
I telling stay baby,
Your grin will be saved honey.
If you reach to office,
Your surround will try to rule,
I telling stay baby,
You will rule forever
No need to have any pule.
If you become like elders,
You will find new shelters
I telling stay baby,
Call us,
We will be your waiters.

Every time I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realize I am getting older. While ordinary citizens busy themselves with boring daily routines, Father Time and the Grim Reaper are negotiating the course of your life over a cup of tea. If there’s one thing they’ve both agreed on, it’s that you can’t turn the clock back to regain your youth, and it is the harsh reality of that consensus that sometimes leaves me Googling adult footsie pajamas and watching old . Why would I ever want to be a kid again, you ask?
from Malaysia has written nicely
“ I used to think I was a spider man, doing those hand gestures. I used to pretend I was Bruce Lee, doing those expressive punch sounds. I never worries about my pants being unwashed, hair being untidy, my laughs being lame or people having fun of me. I always loved how grasshopper jumped so high, how dragonfly flew and how I never felt exhausted of horsing around with my buddies. I was free.
Until everything got fucked up. I changed the moment my schoolmates, at mid school, made fun of my long nerdy hairstyle, so, I changed it. I changed how I talked because guys from capital spoke with “cool” accent and I was from rural, with “weird” accent. So, I changed. I grew more aggressive and negative. My mom is the only person in this world that I care to live for and I used to argue with her because we had no financial strength to buy me a fucking play station to play Bandicoot Crash. I regret it till this day.
Everything passed. Those “cool” boys are still lame show off losers and I never paid for my education, graduated as 1st class student.
If you want to stay kid forever, never ever care about what anyone thinks about your hairstyle, clothes or they way how you speak. Be interested in everything and laugh like there is no tomorrow. Do anything for your loved ones. Free yourself, the child you.

Well, with that shameless self-promotion out of the way, here are 13 awesome quotes about childhood and how much being a little kid rocked.
1. “I’d like to be a kid again but only because naps were insisted, twirling in circles was acceptable, and the only password I had to remember was open sesame.” – Adar Burks
2. You will find more happiness growing down than up. ~Author Unknown
3. “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”~Pablo Picasso

7. “A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who does not play has lost forever the child who lived in him.” ~Pablo Neruda
8. “I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work.” ~Leo F. Buscaglia, Bus 9 to Paradise

12. “Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do.” ~Jean de la Bruyere
13. “Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”― Dr. Seuss
