‘Innocence’: Poem by Aadvik Behl, Apeejay School, Model Town, Jalandhar

It’s a little thing that we carry,
But mankind takes credit for that.
It’s not given much recognition
Although some are lucky to have.

Those who possess do not express,
As humans may take the benefit.
Owners may get scared,
Due to their debit.

Being sad is not the key,
No worries yet just joy and play.
And try to push,
All of the problems away.

Innocence’s gentle grace,
Holds no shadows and burdens to bear.
Children’s laughter fills the space,
Just dreams to chase, floating in the air.
