Childhood days –
Endless summer
Over so soon.
School routine –
Facts and figures
In place of friends.
The shy boy
On the fringes –
Mock his strangeness.
Building Lego
Sat for hours –
Transcendent joy.
Exam success,
Afraid to speak –
Social failure.
Computer geek,
Obsessive interest –
The world forgotten.
Curious mind
Always learning –
Child-like wonder.
Naïveté
Jamais perdu –
Le retour de l’été.
