Christmas mornings
with Christmas gifts.
Birthdays with
birthday gifts and
surprises.
Cartoons on TV.
A shiny new bicycle.
A pet, dog, cat, gerbil,
hamster, etc.
Fun children’s TV shows
and movies.
No soul-draining responsibilities.
No bills to pay.
No rent or house payments.
If lucky. If born into the right
family,
Childhood innocence and
a relatively blissful life.
Bob Boyd
