Children at Heart

The line between fantasy

And the real world

Is a jagged one

So we can jump from

One side to the other

With a slight movement.



It’s why adults

Wear Halloween costumes

And are regular attendees

At any theme park

Because we never

Really grow up.



We just pretend to

Through underneath the facade-

A child still at heart.
