Imagine

Sometimes I wonder,

What it would be like,

To explore forests, go on a hike,

Sail the seven seas, have adventures,

Embark on a journey, go on a quest,

Unfortunately, that stuff is only for the best.

Whenever I think about it,

My mind goes wild,

I imagine doing these things, even though I’m just a child,

I’d swing my sword,

Backhand, side cut, overhead, thrust,

Against bloodthirsty enemies where skill is a must,

I’d be a captain of a ship,

Calling orders,”Heave ho!”

Weaving my way through rocks, to and thro.

But my conscience brings me back,

I feel light and heady,

Mother was calling, supper was ready.
