"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground." - Wilferd Peterson

The simple days have passed
They're long dead and gone
The ignorant era without broadcasts
Where problems lay with a crayon

Those silly years of childhood
Without a care in the world
The age of pirates, bad and good
With white sails to be unfurled

Then there came the time of sorrow
Of violent hits from reality
Hoping for a better tomorrow
Or just simple to be free

To go back to the simplicity
And the childhood full of glee
