THE CHILD WITHIN
© S.D.Smith
As a child, I went to places beyond my reach,
I dreamt of stars shining bright, on a moonlit beach,
Of digging in sand and finding coins to keep,
Of misty hills and green valleys deep.
As a child, I flew through an ebony sky,
Hanging rainbows on stars, as I passed by,
I saw fat little goblins hanging tight to a cloud,
And the child within me, laughed out loud.
As a child, I went to places mystical and old,
I dreamt of pretty maidens, with long braids of gold,
Of beautiful unicorns and stone castles tall,
Of music and fairies that danced in the hall.
Time has passed, the years have flown by,
l remember those dreams, as death draws nigh,
And still, I face each day with a smile or a grin,
Because I haven't forgotten the child that's within.
May you stay forever young!
