We all die young.

Watch a child dream,
they do it while awake.
Sketching images of
monsters and
made up things,
wanting to be
superheroes and galaxy travellers.

Listen to a child rant
with their grand ideas,
from a place of
infinity and abundance.

They were there more recently.

But we tell them better.
Teach them to be
lawyers, accountants, politicians and stylists.

Yes, life is short.
Our hearts die young.
We all die young.
