A Little boy’s dreams

Little boy

So innocent and true

How I wish I could still be you

Your whole life still lies up ahead

And so far you have nothing to dread

Untainted with reality

Clueless as to what it really might be

You’re carefree and alive

Seeing the world through a child’s eyes

I was once so like you

Thinking it all to be an adventure too

Until I realized the big deception

This world didn’t fit my grand perception

I don’t want to scare you

But rather forewarn you

Enjoy your moments as they pass

For unfair as it may seem

Not all little boys fulfill their dreams.
