Forever Young (Original Poem)

If only we could be young forever
And stay children at heart
Where we’d be given one more chance-
Given a fresh start
If only we could rescue the dreams
That we kept inside our heads
The ones that were pushed aside
Now collecting dust beneath the bed
If only we could play pretend
And wear our mother’s clothes
Where we could be someone else
-that nobody knows
If only we could make believe
And not worry we look like fools
Where we could cheat at board games
And make up our own rules
If only we could speak
Saying only what we mean
Where our true feelings
Would never go unseen
If only we could remember
How to truly love
We could live like Ken and Barbie
-hate we’d be free of
If only we could go back
To lyrics we’ve already sung
Where we’d run on forever
And be forever young
