Photo Essay: The Joys of Childhood

-

Author – Levine Lawrence

There is a reason why they say childhood is the best time of a person’s life. It is something so simple, yet absolutely beautiful.

When we were kids, the smallest of things gave us immense pleasure. Neither did we need materialistic stuff to be happy, nor there was a place for selfishness in our hearts. Now that we’ve walked past the most beautiful phase of our lives, the only way left to experience it again is to cherish, remember and relive all those sweet memories whenever possible.

Here’s to the sheer Joys of Childhood that can bring a wide smile to your face with just a single thought.

  1. Here’s to the ones that we got
    Cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not
    ‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
    Of everything we’ve been through
    Toast to the ones here today
    Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
    ‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
    And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
    There’s a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
    When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
    Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
    ‘Cause I can’t reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
    Everybody hurts sometimes
    Everybody hurts someday, aye aye
    But everything gon’ be alright
    Go and raise a glass and say, aye
    Here’s to the ones that we got
    Cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not

    Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
    ‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
