The Story of My Life

 

 

When I was little,
I painted paradise all day long;
square houses, flowers, birds…
red, green, purple,
drifting in the blue sky,
big yellow sun,
pale half moon,
little stars, tiny boats, flying angels,
seven-color rainbows.
And I built a castle on the beach

I wanted to live in;

dome, spire,

bridge over the moat

and a tunnel to get in.

 

When I grew up,

they taught me what is knowledge,

and how to apply it for the next challenge.

 

They said if I was fortunate,

I might be qualified to be groomed

and drilled,

and if I was really blessed,

I would be chosen to do the ultimate…

 

Build a castle and paint paradise.
