Do you remember when we did not fear?
Limbs flailing in the wild sea's waves and sand,
Boldly daring the depths coating Earth's sphere.
We gloried beneath its pounding severe,
Our laughter piercing its roar, like command,
As bells ring above a storm, brave and clear.
Do you remember when we did not fear?
Dismissing such threats with curt wave of hand,
And proud swagger lest exploits disappear.
But with time the sea stripped our rash veneer.
Forsaking, led us to this shadowland,
Without loss causing wisdom to appear.
We forsook glory for safety severe,
And from watery pleasures did disband,
Strolling at water's edge but not too near.
Do you remember when we did not fear?
When youth's promise seemed like a wonderland.
Take my hand love and fair dreams reappear,
To splash in the waves as fear disappears.
