When we were younger, we dreamed
of swashbuckling pirates
and dancing monkeys
We had swordfights that spanned
centuries yet only lasted minutes,
We walked on the moon
and swam in the sun,
in our minds, we could be
anything and anyone.
Impossibility was just another word
we didn't know the meaning of.
Now that I am older,
there are days I find myself reaching
for the comfort of those old dreams,
and the simplicity of my youth.
On those days, I am reminded
that even though those
childhood days might be behind me,
my dreams will always stay with me.
