What has come over me?

Please don’t let this feeling stop

I feel like a child again

but this time I am not afraid

I feel curious, not fearful

I feel new, not bitter

I am smiling like a child that

has found a new amusement

as I embrace and discover

the world around me

I think I am what they call…

HAPPY

it is a new feeling to me

but it makes life feel inviting

it makes this world feel warm

Please don’t let this feeling slip away

I want to see, feel and touch

because unlike the past

I want to feel again
