What happened to the dreams I had as a child?

Dreams that were bigger than life,

That reached beyond fences and boundaries

and took me to faraway places

where there were fantasy adventures

and fairytale endings,

and I could be whoever I chose to be.

O’ when did I stop dreaming like a child?

O’ when did I lose my adventurous spirit?

As I look back at the way I once dreamed,

I long to revive what I lost.

I long to awaken the child that’s still in me.

I long to dream again like my child once did.

Do what my heart longs to do.

Be who my mind wants to be.

Yes, I can still dream if I try.

I can…..I shall…..I will.
