When we were little

Little kids are innocent. Inspired by a little boy in Walmart who said something that really hit me and took me by surprise.

When we were little

We dreamed

of Dragons and Fairies

And Puppies that are 

all so marry

When we were little

We believed

we was truly invincible

We were kings and Queens

that is always how is seemed 

When we were little

We loved

a world that wasn't real

a world that only we could touch and feel

Of magic and adventure

When we were little

We weren't scared

To play in the mud

To laugh all the time

And sing silly nursery rhymes

Now we are grown

And we dream

of that perfect job

and how NOT to get robbed

 

Now we are grown

and we believe

that there isn't a soul to trust

that love is truly lust

The world is dark and sinister

and your voice is but a whisper

Now we are grown

and we cry more than we love

doubting there is a heaven from up above

Playing the day by day

Now we are grown

and we are scared

of what our boss will say

If you are going to have a job the next day

Where will you go

Running into someone you don't wana know

When we were little

We didn't know how cruel the world is

Or maybe

This:

When we were little

We could see the world

For what it ought to be

A world

Adults have forgotten to believe

Author's Note

I will work with it and perfect it for that little boy.
