Pure Fun

Once upon a time of grand pleasure There was a child with thoughts of pure fun Days danced from one to another How wonderful it felt to be young To capture secret snow forts on toboggans of imagination To cross vast fishing streams in the canoes of creation To race through open fields at the silent speed of light To dig for buried treasure and catch fireflies at night Those places that we visited were at the heart of time and space They may be gone at the present Yet, they can never be erased The ballgame in the corner lot that spectacular catch you made The birthday of your special gift when all your wished were repaid The years when certain music was inspiring and brand new When books became a vacation getting lost with; "you know who." Let's visit that time in the present not retreat to the past Let's do something that's pleasant for life rushes by too fast Now - is the time to discover what a wonder life can be Having pure fun with another by releasing the child in; "me."
