the stuff of this adulthood I,
may my inner child always cry in joy
to hold to keep to not let go-
may all things ever wondrous be
as this grown man I am about life goes.

Tear not the heart that longs,
stripping away, for shame, the night
to new and dewy dawn...
keep in me that child still,
pray I retain unspoiled thrills-
may my chest leap at the flight of sparrows,
my smile wide in spite of narrows;
the stuff of this adulthood I,
may my inner child always cry in joy
to hold to keep to not let go-
may all things ever wondrous be
as this grown man I am about life goes.
