Far Away

Far away I see her
Laughing with her friends.
Imagination running wild,
She can be anything she dreams.

Far away I see her
Walking into a new school.
New things to learn and people to meet.
She just wants to make it out alive.

Far away I see her
Moving away from home.
Time to grow up and face the day,
She won't be gone for long.

Far away I see me
When I was just a child.
Bitterness washes over me
As I think of times gone by.

Far away I see me,
High school was a fun time.
Can I go back for one more day
To remind me of what it's like?

Far away I see me
And I smile inside.
Material things will come and go,
But my memories will last a lifetime.
