Child

To wish, to think, to live, to love Those were only some of our dreams Also, to journey around the world Oh how childish it seems. We fought pirates and killed dragons, What a different life we led. We are no longer finding the golden treasure- We are paying bills instead. We used to play with frilly dolls and dress up just like queens I guess those were the simple times, For the light once in our eyes is now unseen. Simply because we are no longer youth, And regardless of our dreams as a child, If one day the hardened face in the mirror is not the one you expected- I can assure you this reaction is quite mild. However, be not afraid dear children, For if you look deep inside your hearts, You can find you are still a brave knight or kind princess, And you will find that every promise and dream has played a part.
