    Faded Dreams

     Perhaps you remember
    A time when I was young
    And lost to innocence 
    Writing a page on things
    That I planned to do in life,
    I don't recall doing it
    But the proof lies here,
    Undeniable and inescapable 
    My dreams in black on white
    But age has crumpled 
    This weak paper
    And time faded the ink
    Till I strain to read it now
    Seems sad to think
    That when I look
    Down on a page of hopes
    All I can do is smile, sadly,
    For the small smile
    Is all that can be spared
    For the faded dreams
    Of that naive child
