When We Were Young

As children we'd play, and nothing could stop our fun or get in our way We'd play until the day's end, and black, white, thick or thin didn't matter, if you wanted to play then you were my friend As children if wasn't out of normality to dream, we dreamed and dreamed We made our reality into what we wanted, no matter how silly it seemed With ease we broke through realities tightest seams We would chase and become our dreams, no matter how hard it seemed As kids we could not only run, we could also fly, close our eyes and run, and watch the wind take us high Who knew by closing our eyes, we could then touch the skies As children, in our future we weren't CEO's laid back in a room, we dreamed one day we'd walk the moon we didn't read books, we made our own story, and doing that expanded my mind further than any book every did for me As children we knew not of fear, we only knew how to play Despite the degree of danger, we made sure we would bring our dreams near that so called fear couldn't get in our way Before we knew fear, despite the chance of loss, we held on and loved things so dear because losing these things isn't an option for a kid, because there wasn't the slightest questioning of if "if it did" As children we looked danger in the eyes, and with faith in our hearts we'd touch the skies But now that we've moved on and grown, we don't know where this faith in our dreams has gone.......
