FOR THE CHILD

"When we're young we run  and play "let's pretend" to be  anything and everything - just for fun.  Our imagination is the key.   As we grow up we are told  by others who are very serious  That reality is time and space and gold;  that games and visions are delirious.   Life goes on and we agree  what other people think is best:  to play our part in reality   just like them and all the rest.  Every game has a start,  a middle and conclusion.  When the time comes to depart  just make a new illusion!  You are Spirit ! Life Eternal !  You'll make a future and new friends !  Through your dreams you are immortal;  like children playing "let's pretend"."
