how i miss those days…
when my safety blanket
would chase away my fears;
when my wooden sword
would slay imaginary foes
how i miss those days…
when i was still small enough
to fit into my mothers arms;
when i was still light enough
to ride on my father’s shoulders
how i miss those days…
when a 2-hour-movie
seemed endless;
when a piece of candy
was a near-sacred treasure
how i miss those days.
eyes, innocent and full of wonder
mind, pure and eager to learn
isn’t it time
to revive
what seems long forgotten?
isn’t it time
to let the inner child
come out and play?

yes, you can find her in Librivox.org … it’s a free domain and the reader Elizabeth Klett, dramatizes each character so naturally. She has an outstanding voice and mimics all the British accents with perfection.
