She sits there and plays with her bears


    ignorant of the world that is around her.


    Unaware of the inflation, politics, and wars


    which tends to make life difficult out there.


    I long for those days that used to be bright


    when I was young, na?ve and in a bubble.


    The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.??It’s easier to be happy when not in the fight


    only worrying about staying out of trouble.


    Yet as we grow, we become aware of a planet


    that is far from perfect, even grossly unfair.


    Far too young to realize the distant threat


    but one day we’ll all be old enough to care.


    It’s dishonest to burden the next generation


    but they’ll carry the baton and still have fun.
