When I was young I thought as a child,
Life was an adventure to play and to hide,
Fear was for grownups and alarm was ignored,
Worry was distant and dreams were explored,
*
But as I grew older the veil fell away,
Life was much harder with no time to play,
Worry and rejection were everyday fears,
And dreams of adventure were washed away tears,
*
But now I’m the woman of the child I remembered,
It’s time that I salvaged the dreams I surrendered,
It’s time to find love and time to find hope,
And time to relinquish my hold on the rope.

I am trying to live up to the last paragraph. 😉
