OH LITTLE ONE

Oh little one

Whose face fixed with frown

Ashamed from falling down

From a tree across the town

With your high pitched cry

Shocked were those who pass by

And yet after receiving candy from a guy

You stopped and gave out a smile

While walking on the street

An ant bit your feet

Yet you don’t seem to flick

You’re so excited unwrapping that sweet

For a moment you were crying aloud

But now you’re flying on a cloud

How shallow you must be

After having a candy, you were that jolly

You were happily hopping and singing a song

When I realized, no, I was the one wrong

You weren’t happy ‘cause you’re shallow and small

I just can’t understand for I’m surrounded by a great wall

On material things I’ve been so concentrated

I make life so complicated

I neglect those small things that can make me happy

Small things like the act of that guy who gave you a candy

How comfortable you must be

Having a life so innocent and free

How I wish life’s the same for adults like me

standing up so proudly even after falling from a tree.
