Where has the innocence gone

Where are the days of youth
Where is the time of innocence
Why must children become old before their years
.
Lost forever never to return
Oh how I wish to see the world through the eyes of innocence
Serendipity, please find me and show me the lost years of youth
The time grows near when innocence will be lost at birth
.
Children of days gone by knew life in a simpler time
Over are the days of simple pleasures
Memories of innocence is left behind
