When I Was A Child...

When I Was a Child…

When I was a child I believed in love and magic.

I wanted to be an E.R. Doctor working the night hours.

I believed in Santa Claus and everything makes believe.

I hoped that I would live to see a hundred and three.

I loved the time of Christmas.

I learned that no one lives forever.

I was certain that babies came from your belly button.

 

When I began to grow up I learned that good-bye will never get easy.

I wanted to be an actress on the silver screen.

I believed that one day love will find me.

I hoped that stormy days would come and go.

I loved that families will heal but photos never fade.

I learned that scars will heal but never fade.

I was certain that time was passing to quick and I may never live to see another day.

 

Now that I am almost grown thing will fade and go away.

I want to be a Neonatal Nurse working with little babies.

I believe that time has no limit and thing happen for a reason.

I have learned that you can learn from past mistakes.

I love that no one can be just like me.

I am certain that maybe love is out there for me.

When I was a child nothing could stand in my way.
