I found my spot under a tree and heartily just collapsed.
I gazed into clouds, feeling childish but proud,
And imagined a world of gold…
I was continuously blessed, and playfully dressed,
In a world were you never grow old.
I came back to my tree, jumped up gleefully,
And skipped towards the sun.
I grabbed a ball, stood up tall,
…for the day had just begun.
