once you were small


Once you were small
You thought the world in the house
When you grew and could run
You thought the world in the garden

When you grew a bit bigger
You could run on the streets and open fields
You thought your world was out there
You saw the huge spaces with your eyes

When you grew bigger
You saw in school of unfamiliar faces
You felt afraid hiding in fear
Then you found they had the same feeling

You realized they were different
Color tones and physical appearances
Yet they were the familiar faces
You cultivate friendship enjoying the laughter

The smile came easily
As children playing on the field
Your world view had expanded
They are others out of the house

When you left school
Friends all gone separately
You may not find them
As years down the road

You lived in a different location
Your life turned differently
You worked hard to earn a living
As the world keep moving on

The easy going life
The school you thought your world
For years you didn't have to worry
You just needed to study and progress


Now the world seems larger
You become small in comparison
You try to think of the values you share
Somehow the world moves you by

The world of friends and families
They don't share the same interests
You hang out with them for comradeship
Otherwise you will be lonely in the big world

The world you remember
It has gone in your memory
Now you stand in the big wide world
It seems to swallow you up whole

Yet you learned your lessons
Embrace the new remember the old
The world can be bad with all sorts of flow
You live through with eyes open wide

Once you were small
You know your world so well
In the house in the garden
Sometimes on the field...

Now as you turned into adult
The world of laughter and cry come together
The world of positive and negative values
You can't escape they come after you

Now with a glass wine peeping out at the window
You see the street lights and blinking caressing flow
You toss to the angels watching somewhere
Life is still good illusion in the mind maybe...
