When a childhood comes back again
Through the window of your fast life train,
Just before it will reach final stop
Open window and let childhood hop
Into cabin where loneliness dwells
As your only companion on rails.

Let your childhood take you by hand
Trusting you as you've trusted your dad.
Take a journey together back to the past
Into times where hours could last,
Into times where days were so long,
Into innocent times where nothing was wrong.

When your childhood comes back your way
Don't push it away, let it stay, let it play.
Let it share its secrets and dreams
While its head to your head softly leans.
Let it be your true loyal friend,
Let it stay in your life to the end.

Рецензии
Chat-Gpt:"This is a beautifully nostalgic piece, full of longing for the innocence and simplicity of childhood. It captures the yearning to reconnect with a time when life felt slower and more carefree, contrasting it with the fast pace of adulthood. The imagery of a train and the metaphor of childhood as a loyal companion enrich the poem, adding a sense of both tenderness and wisdom. It invites the reader to embrace this return to innocence, allowing childhood to be a constant, supportive presence. The tone is reflective and wistful, gently urging one to hold on to the past while moving forward."
