I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn't as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.
What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give.
Be you wise and never sad, You will get your lovely lad. Never serious be, nor true, And your wish will come to you-- And if that makes you happy, kid, You'll be the first it ever did.
When I got married in my twenties, I had a happy marriage and happy kids but at some point in time I let it go off the rails I let it go off the rails.
I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.
I learned that there are two things that kids really like: movement and love. Happy kids move; unhappy, they don't move.
While I didn't have everything that I wanted, I was still a happy kid.
I was a pretty happy kid, I had to fake it. I had to get into this miserable character before I wrote poems.
