All grown-ups were once children – although few of them remember it.

Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.

If you’re alone, I’ll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I’ll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I’ll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I’ll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I’ll just be me…

You seek problems because you need their gifts.

The sandman says maybe he’ll take you above
Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows
Where babies float by, just counting their toes….
