Those were the days when things didn't matter. There was no homework. There was little responsibility. There was a rainbow at our fingertips. If something terrible happened, we always knew it would be okay. Nothing lasted forever. We could get another if something ran out. Or it could be fixed.
But not anymore.
We don't have that little box of color.
We aren't free anymore.
We don't get nap time.
Now we have homework and tests and things matter. Our worlds shatter when something goes wrong. We have to be adults and we have work and responsibility. We have challenges and we must push on.
But please, big, hard, adult world. Give me one more day. One day to be little again and to play and create. To not worry about what people think. Just one more day. Just one. That's all I need.
For one more day . . .
