Rainbows, Unicorns And Fairytales

I hope that however
Old I grow to be,
I never lose touch
With the young child in me.

To remember looking
Through the eyes of a child--
Wide and innocent--
Free of guile.

To see beautiful colors
Wherever they look--
Rainbows, crayons, people,
Pictures in books.

To believe in Unicorns
With all their heart,
And fairy tales they have
Memorized each part.

To be able to dream
Big, wonderful dreams--
Play fun games
And cook up goofy schemes.

All too soon
They grow older, and lose the look of wonder--
At the state of the world
Due to man's greed and hunger.

Everyone should keep in touch
With their inner child--
Remember the good things,
And forget troubles and worries for a while.

I'm not saying
To ignore reality--
But your inner child remembers
How beautiful the world used to be.
