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. |
