Hello," Life says, "Remember me?<br />We started out together here<br />When you were just a bundle<br />Of innocent amazement.<br />Remember how you saw the world<br />With nothing but wonder?<br />We were such rowdy playmates then.<br />We painted on the sky with clouds<br />And made magic out of <br />Clothespins and peanut butter.<br />Remember, can you, how I became stained and heavy<br />With trouble?<br />Not safe now. Lots of no.<br />They dressed me in painful clothes<br />And made you wear them, too.<br />You don't recognize me, do you<br />But I've never abandoned you<br />Or lost my wild, happy desire<br />To show you <br />Play with you<br />Kiss you<br />Hide and seek down twisty paths<br />And always discover more.<br />Want to run away with me again?<br />Shall we elope without ever leaving<br />Because that's possible, you know.<br />I've never been anywhere but here<br />Waiting for you<br />To remember.
