That Child Inside

I remember long ago
Snowmen standing in the snow;
And drifting silent frozen flakes
Fell on the ground below.

I remember blazing stars
And looking up and finding Mars.
And seeing wonder in the sky
As silent castles drifted by.

I remember memories;
The soft and gentle summer breeze;
The feelings all remain inside
But I don't remember where they hide.

I wonder where that child went
The one so happy and content?
Could it really truly be
I've lost the child inside of me?

Today I'll brush myself aside
And try to find that child inside.
I'll make the world a better place
By putting on a child's face.
