Childhood

Every mortal has his own adolescence
We managed and evolved from childhood
As children we are unblemished with innocence
We lack traits of experience, its immaturity
As adults we have departed beyond ignorance
However, it is important to nourish youthfulness

Our lives perpetually moan for youthfulness
So much time we exhausted throughout adolescence
Seldom do we desire continuing ignorance
We constantly strive to abscond our childhood
Developing beyond those echelons of immaturity
Adulthood attained at the demise of innocence

Like the snow of winter it doth provoke innocence
A resource of adulthood comes from youthfulness
Experiences from a lifetime graduating from immaturity
A long and lengthy path from adolescence
Early experiences in one's childhood
Gaining a thorough education freedom from ignorance

Through our thirst for knowledge we lose ignorance
It is only through education we overcome innocence
As we gravitate to adulthood leaving behind our childhood
Never forgetting the lessons of youthfulness
Always remembering trials of adolescence
Stagnation would leave a level of immaturity

We must conquer that level of immaturity
It is but another step to overcome ignorance
It is through adulthood we go beyond adolescence
At a level of adulthood we conquer innocence
Longevity develops always by keeping youthfulness
To always use the resources of childhood

It is a wonderful thing, a pleasant childhood
It guarantees going beyond immaturity
However we should resource our youthfulness
To forget our past is truly ignorance
There is always a solace of innocence
When one does resource adolescence

Adolescence is a part of life, not necessarily immaturity,
All should enjoy our childhood, it is never ignorance,
It is the joy of innocence, a part of our youthfulness.
