I Must Confess...

I feel I must confess...
I still chase butterflies if I think no one is watching.
I hide my crayons.
I like playing dress-up and stomping in puddles.
I daydream of dragons, wizards and elves.
I will skip rocks at the lake and try to count the stars.
I still build sand castles
I watch cartoons and have the Disney movies memorized.
I let go of the balloon just to watch it fly.
I play hide and seek with the cats.
I have been know to eat cake and cookies for breakfast.
I dance when I am alone...

The grown up in me shudders at all of this,
and I hide it from others...
Yet, I find the the child within is stronger
and will have his way.
So now I make no more excuses.
Then write it for all to see.
And pick up my colored chalk and skip off into the day...
