When One Is Young
Skies are blue and birds seem
to fly towards rainbows or the
dreams of those that still dream
When one is young

Stories bring imagination and the
past alive with magic while games
of ball and hopscotch bring forth
enjoyment to all
When one is young

Soon all fades to darkness
swings, mud-puddles, and slides
lay baron to existence
fun and games only come alive
When one is young
