Childhood
Childhood is one of the best days of your life.
The time when you realise that you are the king of your own world. Actually in my opinion being a child is much better than being adults.
After being adults we lose that innocence and start being selfish. Running day by day to become famous and start studying and earning for that. The training for that people around us are already injecting. And the child thinks "I want to be greater than him". Since then in every sphere of life we started discriminating one another as big not in terms of size but position in the society. People always keep a distance when they are with higher officials or elder people.
During the education sphere they may dream of becoming a doctor, engineer or anything similar. But gradually that changes when they reach higher sections. They find money to be important.
When I hear the word childhood I get often reminded of the poem Fern Hill and some of the lines of the poem goes:
And as I was green and carefree, famous among the barns
About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,
In the sun that is young once only,
Time let me play and be
Golden in the mercy of his means,
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves
Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,
And the sabbath rang slowly
In the pebbles of the holy streams.
The poet Dylan Thomas explains in a beautiful way a child enjoying his carefree life. But soon he realises that things are not permanent in life and see what happens when you become an adult. You take up responsibilities, have all those unwanted mental disorders and you fall ill. It is rare to find that an adult who is really happy.
Often seasons play an important role in literature that match with emotions.
When spring is for happiness and winter and autumn is for sadness. That is why the green color highlighted in the poems directly shows the happiness of the child.
So when someone finds you behaving like a child they may point out you are immature. But when you are a child only you are true to yourself and others around you.
