Wishing On The Stars

my youth

i've always been
a whimsical child
dancing in the rain
was always in the sunshine
making up songs
everyday
i've always thought of lyrics
whilst in the bath
with shampoo
wrote the words down
and sang them
to scare away the blues
was always an
imaginative child
playing with dolls and
teddy bears
lived in my
own happy world
in which i was glad to disappear
one day i realized it
was time to grow up
but the happy child
within me stayed
close to my heart
one day the darkness came
stormed upon
my world
the child in me gone
wish i can go back to then
a childhood away
wish i can turn back time
to find my place
wish i can find my dolls
and the stories they told me
wish i can disappear to then
when daddy held me
