Little Joey plays so hard at being what he sees,
Imagination racing like the rhythm of
a train.
Making temporary worlds inspires as
it frees
His soul to grow like new mown
grass after the rain.
Susie tries to catch a star and
hold it as a treasure,
Growing up so quickly that she
causes heads to spin.
Stepping into mother's shoes, trying
hard to measure
Up to expectations of both kith and
kin.
Animations learned in youth
Become a lifetime folly.
Pretending soon becomes a vivid
point of reference.
The wise will quickly learn to use
escape
To keep them jolly.
The unwise simply cannot see
To tell the difference.
