On turning 21

Your last year as a child

Take a look at the world around you,

It is your last year to be a child

Remember all the toys and the games that you played

Take all the joys and the pains of scraped knees and uncontrollable laughters

Of hiding inside cabinets and searching under beams and shrubs for spiders

Of imagining fairies and pretending them to be guests in your birthday party

Of climbing trees of pretending fortresses and swimming with mermaids frolicking with dolphins under the sea

Take all the rainbows and the blanket of stars under the moonlit night

Take all the hurts and the pains of growing up

Bring all these memories and keep them forever.

Take these all with you

Put them in your heart

The wide horizon is yours now

The empty highway is ready for you

Waiting for you now

The world as you see it

In your eyes

it is your last year to be a child.
