Crystal Clear

I think back when I was young the world seemed so big The answers are below the surface so you will have to dig. I see this little caterpillar absorbing all that it sees Hope is growing stronger than the tallest trees. I remember the sky and how I would count stars I would first find Venus and then I’d look for Mars. The moon always seemed so big and so bright Like a beacon to guide me through the night. As I grew older I would dream that I could fly Seems this caterpillar has become a butterfly. I’d watch the dew drops glisten in the morning sun Only to evaporate as I see who I would become. Change comes so slowly, yet time goes so fast. What was once right here has now become the past. I miss those childhood dreams and what they would bring But as a butterfly I have to learn to fly as my heart sings. I know that nothing can ever remain the same. I just hope to get better at this flying game. I still see the sky before me so vast yet so near, The direction I shall take seems to be crystal clear.
