When I was a child…..



Time moved very slowly

Summers were sunny

Sleep came easily

And there were no pains in my body.

My heart was undamaged

I trusted the world

Each new thing discovered

Each experience learned.

My mind was free

My spirit could fly

My dance was hope

And my song was joy.



As years passed by

The world pushed in

Trying to steal my joy

And imprison me.

Pain and sadness

Tried to drown me

And hopelessness

Rose up to engulf me.



Though the world has tempted

Bullied and scared me

Though I walk with a limp

And need glasses to see

Though time flies by

And I don’t always cope

My song is still joy

And my dance still hope.
