oh, to live rent free in that space between dreams and reality
where you can taste what you see and hear with your mind
i would find me a seat somewhere neath a willow tree
where friendship is easy and love remains blind
to travel the paths shaded by the mountaintops
see sounds and explore both sides of the moon
finding the treasures abandoned in thrifting shops
eating life's pleasures with a big silver spoon
to dream as a child, finding adventure in little things
skating through life with the pom pom's and fringe
holding to hope like a kite and a velvet string
soaking it up like water in a sponge

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

As adults we should not give up our childhood ideas for the could fit in our lives now somehow. Good job.
This feels like a soft escape into innocence and possibility. Beautifully written.
Lovely!
Kelli, I love this! Really captures that yearning for childlike wonder. First line drew me in.
Very good! 💯
