Everything is bothersome for children,
The kid who sways on the swing.
The fear of darkness caving in,
The broccoli on their plate,
The elders being strict.
From sweat to shiver,
From homework to discipline,
Everything is irritating,
But there are many other things like
Parties, peace, drawings, parents’ pampering,
Teachers’ nudging, sweets and lollies,
Special attention which makes them happy.
This is the life of children, a mix of all emotions.
