to Be That Child Once More

When I was young, I was filled with awe;
Every small thing made me smile.
I would gaze at the beauty of nature,
And admire God’s magic and skill.
Soon I started wondering how the magic works,
I wanted to know the secrets too.
I decided to learn all there was to learn,
To solve all the unsolved mysteries.
I know now how the rainbows are formed,
I now know why the sky is blue.
But in my heart one question remains,
Where’s that old happiness gone?
I now have clear proof that God isn’t real,
What was once magic is now just laws.
I may be the master who know everything to know,
But, without Him, I feel so alone and small.
Everyone feels that mine’s a life well-spent,
My work is admired worldwide.
But, to be honest, I would trade it all in,
To be that joyous child just once more.

I have very ambiguous feelings about that piece but how I actually feel depends almost entirely on whether this is autobiographical or not.
