When I turn ten,
...I'll run away,
I'll sail the seas,
...feel ocean's spray,
Ride a camel,
...go fly a plane,
Or fight a bull,
...in sunny Spain,
I'll go to bed,
...at sun's first rise,
Each day awake,
...to new surprise,
'Cause when I'm ten,
...I'll have no fear,
"Come in now Mike,"
...what's that I hear?
It's Mom, I guess,
...I'll have to wait,
Because you see,
...I'm only eight.

Yes, yes, I had so many plans. Some I did but most was lost to the years.
You did an excellent job of dreaming.

Mike--you captured the little boy in you--and I'll bet he's still there.

ah yes...

when i was eight
i had no fear...
i knew that mom
was waiting near...

i love this so much..funny how we get older and start thinking about the mechanics of things--the parts of things that bring concern, fear...we think too much

....

wouldnt it be nice...to be 8 again..or 10

i must save this in my library

thanks for the little walk...down that lane...
