The innocence of a child is something you only get to have once, once it is gone there is no chance you will ever get it back. Everyone has to grow up sometime although everyone wishes at one or more times that you didn't have to, that you could live forever. I walked down the stairs of the old house, the stairs creaking with every step I took. I looked around at the old house; the walls so covered by dirt and grime you could no longer see the paint beneath it. On the ground is a toy doll, it’s face once white was now a dirty brown colour and it’s dress torn and faded. I smiled sadly down at the doll, wishing that I could once again be a child, without a care in the world. This house and doll was once mine when I was a child, I had lived with my mother, father and my younger sister. My sister and I would always come up with the strangest ideas and games, always getting dirty and being told off by our mother.

I would do anything to have those times back…

Placing the doll down carefully on a small table I continued through to the next room, the memories flooding back. Smiling I looked at the portrait on the wall, it was of my sister and I, with our cheeky grins and the sparkle that all children have in their eyes. The sparkle of a child’s innocence, that happy spark that is always there and will never go out, no matter what. The Christmases when the children get so excited because Santa has come and delivered presents to their houses. The innocence of a child is one of the most beautiful things in this world and should be treasured. I say this because you see children grow up and that innocence dissipates, they begin to become adults, they mature. I turn around on the spot looking all around the room, my skirts flying through the air, giggling I remember my childhood.

How quickly it passed…

I have lived my life and am happy with what I have done with it; I would not have it any other way. What I wouldn’t give though to have at least one more day as the child I once was, the young innocent child.
