The perfume of childhood

The magic of children
is full of light
and caresses all places
with the softest tenderness.
The music of laughter
makes hearts happy,
voices are colourful
ringing like lovely bells.
In a fantasy world
words shine in stories,
dreams are butterflies
flying in bright gardens.
Illusions have golden wings
and go up to the sky
where they see wishes
hoping to come true.
In the gentle breeze
the perfume of childhood
sprinkles sad souls
and sweetens life.
