Innocence...

Do you remember those days?

Your hopes and dreams… some you still hold onto today but most have changed.

Poor you. What you know now compared to what you knew then.

Times change. That's life. You grow up.

It's when we have such innocence that we don't know we're innocent.

Until it's gone. Taken. You go through that 'big kid' moment.

What was yours?

One day you're that free-spritited kid and the next day you can't even remember the last time you played with your collection of toys. Sad huh?

We're adults now. Nothing but malarkey.

They say your best days are yet to come but let me tell you something... It was when I was that free, curious, creative kid that I had lived my best days.

The clock only keeps on ticking. I dream about it... Will those days ever come again?

Yeah you lost that innocence, but-

That's life. You grow up.

Time doesn't stop,

The world just keeps on spinning.

So keep your inner child close.

We've gotten this far.

You don't want to lose them. You can't. Please.
