dream

As a child, I craved maturity's embrace, Dreaming of triumph, in life's race. But reality paints a different scene, Where innocence fades, and dreams intervene. Grown older now, excitement wanes, Replaced by the weight of life's refrains. No longer carefree, no laughter rings, As we grapple with life's tangled strings. Yet within this chaos, one truth holds clear, Happiness lies not in distant spheres. But in the warmth of kin, in love's embrace, Where solace dwells, and troubles efface. So let me yearn, to stay forever young, Shielded from life's burdens, its endless run. For in the end, it's not the world's demands, But the love we share, that truly stands.
