UnTainted

A child walked upto me
and said "Wow When i grow up I want to be just like you!"
I smiled and said"Oh no, you dont want to be LIKE ME.For im in no good place and im no artist..."

And so I said to him
"Dear child,don't be in a hurry to grow up.
One day time will catch up with you faster than you know;
When you're not looking;and when you least expect.
And then you'll discover that you were so intent on moving foward
That you forgot to live in the moment."

A few moments later,his little sister came upto me crying.I asked her what was wrong
and she said"Mommys not being nice. i wish i was bigger so i could spank her instead."

"Soon your eyes will open to the world as they were when you first were born;
And things will be different..."

she cut in.....

"will there still be ice cream n candy???"

"Yes. But this time All the colour will fade from your eyes.
The lullaby will stop.
I just hope you have the heart to brave the storm;
and the sight and strength to shield yourself;
Because noone else can do it for you.
This is your life,live it as you choose,
And i hope someday all your dreams come true."
