As A Child

Let me live
As a child
For just another moment.

Let me play hide-and-seek
With fairies
And sleep on clouds
And rainbows
And sing the songs of stars.

Let me search
For pixie dust
In flowers
Bathed in moonbeams
And magic.

Let me dream
As a child
For just another moment.

Let me hear
A lullaby
From the man in the moon
And sing along
An innocent refrain.

Let me keep a teddy bear
Who comes to life
And molds my dreams
But only when
I’m not looking.

Let me believe
In talking animals
And wizards and warlocks
And secret kingdoms.

Let me believe
In ever afters
And big dreams
And endless possibilities.

And let me live
As a child
For just another moment.
