“We would climb the highest dune,

from there to gaze and come down”

We would go down the lowest valleys

and gain perspective of the world

We would play outside for hours

not giving a thought about our worries

Sometimes we might stay inside

 and wish we could be somewhere else

We would stay up at night, 

watch the sun leave

and the stars come out

Until the sun would come out again

We would play sports,

day in and day out.

We would never worry about

the day it might end

We would wake up

and not have a thought

about the world around us

We would have no worries about the future

Now, as we grow up

we see more and more of how things are

We find love and pain

We gain knowledge of our world 

We have found out more about life,

about it’s stress

and it’s sorrows

Sometimes it is hard to keep perspective

of the good with all the darkness out there

But you can’t lose hope that the good is there

It will always be there,

The fact that it is dark proves that.

You just have to keep pushing

until you break through to the light.
