~WANNA PLAY?~
I am hereby officially
tendering my resignation
as an adult.
I have decided
I would like to accept
the responsibilities of
an 8 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's
and think that it's
a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks
across a fresh mud puddle
and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms
are better than money
because you can eat them.
I want to lie under
a big oak tree & run a
lemonade stand
with friends on
a hot summer's day.
I want to return to
a time when life was
simple.
When all you knew
were colors,
multiplication tables,
and nursery rhymes,
but that didn't bother you,
because you didn't know
what you didn't know
and
you didn't care.
All you knew was to be happy
because you were
blissfully unaware
of all the things that
should make you worried or upset.
I want to think
the world is fair.
That everyone is
honest and good.
I want to believe
that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious
to the complexities of
life and be overly excited
by the little things again.
I want to live simple again.
I don't want my day
to consist of computer
crashes, mountains of paperwork,
depressing news,
how to survive more days in
the month than there
is money in the bank,
doctor bills, gossip, illness,
and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe
in the power of smiles, hugs,
a kind word, truth,
justice, peace, dreams,
the imagination, mankind,
and making angels in the snow.
So....here's my checkbook
and my car-keys,
and my credit card
bill statements.
I am officially resigning
from adulthood.
And if you want to
discuss this further,
you'll have to catch me first,
cause,
"Tag! You're it."....................
