Childhood illusion

When I was asleep,
Child hood memories crept in,

As I entered a realm of fantasy,
where childhood's joy was reborn.

Hopping and jumping ,
with wild freedom, untethered and free.

Where smiles stretched across the land,
Where we all sang and jumped into ecstasy,

Where joy and laughter flew in abundance ,
And I felt freedom unlimited.

But suddenly I woke up from the deep slumber,
And realized it was just a wishful illusion.
Yet, the memory remains, a bittersweet refrain.
