Have you ever wanted to recapture the child you use to be?
Who would ride a bike out in the rain?
or climb the highest tree?
The child who believed in the magic of Santa Claus
Who never wondered why when you looked up on a moonless night
you saw starfish in the sky.
The child who discovered castles in the clouds,
who for no reason would start to sing,
who was able to find beauty in the tiniest of things?
Who….could sit for hours…upon hours
watching a butterfly
or a bee?
Whose world was one of love
and kindness
and generosity?
Have you ever thought
in a world that’s filled with hatred
with wars
and bigotry
that perhaps now is the time to recapture
that child we use to be.
