Question

If I met my seven year old self today,

What would I tell her,
What would I say
Would I warn her of the future,
please analyze this poem:
Of the bad things yet to come?
Or would I leave her be naive
To keep having fun?
Because my seven year old self, Believed the world a perfect place,
Would she recognise herself?
When she looked into my face?
Even though I’ve learnt so much more,
And ten years have passed since then,
I would give up everything I have,
To view life through her eyes again

Answer 1

The narrator is saying that they used to think the world was some magical place with no flaws, and then they realized it was otherwise.

"Or would I leave her be naïve, to keep having fun?" The narrator is going back and forth between leaving themselves innocent, so that they can enjoy it while it lasts.

The author is considering this because "I would give up everything I have, to view life through her eyes again." As a child, she was innocent, and loved the world, and is wistful to feel the same way again.

Hope this helps :)
