My Child Inside
67
Where did you go,
My child inside?.
Are you hiding deep,
So I cannot find?.
The secrets that you keep,
Hiding in the dark.
The worst is over,
Brand new start.
I miss your laughter,
And your innocent ways.
Please come out ,
I need to play!
I know you hide,
Because of fears,
From all the confusion,
Suffered through all the years.
You are safe,
Open the door.
No need to hide,
Don't fear any more.
The sun is shinning,
A new day has come.
The past is over,
Lets have some fun!
Remember when,
We danced in the rain?
Everything's new,
Everything's changed.
Open the curtains,
Let light shine in.
This is the place,
Where healing begins.
Child inside,
I need you now!
Time for laughter,
If you only allow.
Please my child,
Come out and sing!
Remember the days,
And the joy it would bring?
The gift is there,
Just was hidden in time.
Child come out,
Time to let it shine.

- The Laughing Tree
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~ e.e. cummings I was on a daily walk; had many things on my mind. When out of the blue, a unique tree, did I find. The tree displayed a bright...

I refuse to be sad, I will stay glad, For this is the best life, I have ever had. I am breathing today, Nothing standing in way, Look out world, Bad thoughts at bay. I want to be a Lucy!

You always give such encouraging comments. I appreciate you so much. Thanks for stopping by.
Sunnie
Beautiful as always. I believe we had past that time with beautiful memories. Again... with your talent, you made this so great with your own word but it has deep meaning. I am sure we all agree with me. I always give my vote to you. Cheers....

Dave,
I know we are told to grow up, quit acting like a child but to supress laughter, sillyness, fun, is truly a dissappointment to our hearts.
Thanks again.

Oh Ian I love love love your comment..Next time i look in the mirror I am going to say the same thing except say old woman..haha I think it is wonderful that you have not lost the child inside..I can see that is why your mind and spunk for life is still so rich.
Big Hugs,
Sunnie
I am one of the lucky ones. That child that I was is still inside me. Sometimes he's naughty. Sometimes he's spoilt. Sometimes he sulks. But on the whole he manages to get by and play for hours and fantasise and enjoy life... the child inside. And then I catch myself in the mirror some times, and say to the old man there. "Bugger off. I don;t know who you are, but you're standing in the way and I can't see myself".
Hi there A.A,
I think that is an adorable boy in the helmet and he should come out and play more often..Thanks A.A. for coming by as always. I bet he is a joy for sure..I have no doubt!!
Sunnie
Beautiful poem! I liked the structure and flow, now I'm jealous. Sometimes the boy in the helmut peers into my life at times. He was lost in the darkness some time ago. He didn't lose his way, he was just led away. However, at times I hear, see, experience something that allows him come around, he can be quite a joy to be with. Awesome!
Ahhh I can see your inner child peeping out almost daily and it is such a sweet presence..Thanks for reading..
Take care,
Sunnie
Sunnie....thank goodness for my inner child....I have lost it along the way but she is certainly back and needs to play. Hey, I'm a poet and didn't know it.
You also bring a smile this fine morning.
Happy Friday....M
Sunnie: My struggle to keep the child in me alive and free comes not from my being unable to free it but from others who wish me to suppress my child-like nature.
Good Morning Dave, I couldn't agree more..we do need to keep the inner child alive and thriving..or we grow into mean old fuddie duddies....lol but
you said it best, we will struggle to set it free. Thanks so much for reading. God Bless,
Sunnie
Sunnie: Beautifully written. It is a shame that as we grow in stature throughout or lives we tend to bury the child-like qualities of our being or suppress them. Some of us fight and struggle to keep the child in us hidden, some struggle to set it free again. God wants it set free.
Good Morning My Friend,
Thank you so much for coming by this mornig. I always appreciate your visit and kind words. Have a beautiful day.
Hugs,
Sunnie
Hi Sunnie,

Dear Enlydia,

God BLess
Sunnie
Good Morning Barbergirl,
I agree..take the time to play and enjoy life..thank you so much for reading.
God Bless,,
Sunnie
beautiful - I think everybody should take the time to get their inner child to come out and play. Maybe I will encourage mine to come out tomorrow!
Sunnie Day, I had to come back to this hub to hear the little girl sing...it was beautiful...what a powerful voice she has.
Dear Feenix,
I trully understand. Life has a way of robbing us of our inner child through heartach and pain. I am so happy you are finding your way back home to self. I have no doubt you will and I will lift up a prayer right now. Thank you so much for reading today and sharing your heart with me.
God Bless you,
Sunnie
Dear Genna,
I love it when we can just come out and play, and let the worries of our life be put aside for a time. I love your comment and appreciate you so much as a friend and fellow hubber. You are right our inner child has so much to say and teach us. God Bless you.
Sunnie
Lovely, touching and inspiring, Sunnie. I do so love my child inside; what a shame we have to coax it out of hiding once in a while. When we do, what joys we feel as the world shifts into simpler times of unconditional love, exploration and wonder that teach us so much.
Sunnie Day, this is a very beautiful and inspirational hub.
I closely identify with the words you put down on paper because I am presently in the process of finding my way after being lost for many years.
Up until not so very long ago, the "happy and content me" was buried under such negative and debilitating things as sadness, despair, anger, resentment and fear.
Thank you for composing and sharing this wonderful work of art.
Dear Downpurofwords,
Than you so much for your kind comments. I hope you come back. Will look forward to reading more of yours as well.
God Bless,
Sunnie,
Dear SubRon,
Ahhh thanks for reading..I loved the video too..amazing little girl singing Amazing Grace made me cry too...Hope you have a wonderful night. Thanks again for your sweet comments.
Sunnie
Sunnie Day, you sure know how to bring on the tears. I hope this girl has wonderful parents who will allow her to develope and go as high as she can. Oh, I liked your poem too, but almost "skipped" the Youtube.
Excellent poem. I enjoyed reading it all the way through. Though I myself write a lot of poems, the first few lines of any poem are the ones which make me read em fully or quit. Hope to read more of your writings.
Dear Jo,
Thank you so much for your kind comment. So happy you enjoyed this today. Hope you have a great Thursday.Thanks for stopping by.
God Bless,
Sunnie

Sunnie
Dear HappyBoomerNurse,
Thanks so much. Wasn't that little girl just precious. She had a voice that was amazing. I hope I never lose my inner child..Appreciate your great comment.
God Bless,
Sunnie
Dear Enlydia,
I know mine was pushed aside for many years and when I became a grandma it came out to play..I am so happy it did. Thank you for an awesome comment and one that I truly understand. May you have many days of joy as you let your inner child shine.
God Bless and thank you so much for reading today.
Sunnie
I love the Inner Child...it is nice to know that she is only hiding and not dead...My Inner Child kept rearing it's angry head for years, and I would not recognize her...so she had to keep hiding...now I am telling her she had a right to be angry...The angry inner child is often just a sad, and confused Inner Child.
Thanks for a beautiful start to a new day. I cherish the child within, and respect where she's been and the ways that those childhood experiences, both the sublime and the sad, have brought me to the present moment. I find the connection with my inner child most strong in nature, especially while riding a bike. There is passion, love and awe when I connect with her and for a few moments, as you've so effectively shown in this poem, the world is fresh and new again.
I absolutely love this poem and am going to bookmark it as well as voting it up, beautiful and awesome!
The Amazing Grace video with the amazing child singer was also captivating. Thanks so much for the gift of this hub.
Good morning Sunnie: Charming, delightful and refreshing. A nice way to start off a day.
how really cool! This is the most beautiful poem I have been so lucky to read. I wish you all the best! And I pray you continue to allow your light to shine! awesome hub! :-)
Good Morning My Daughter,

Good Morning Susan,
Thank you so much for stopping by this morning. I am happy you enjoyed this poem. I thought about so many gifts we had as a child but life seems to put them on a shelf. Somehow we need to find them again.
God Bless,
Sunnie
