There was a child who wandered far
To chase that bright elusive star
He jumped and leapt to catch the light
That paled the shadows of the night
And took his heart to worlds beyond
With meadows lush and mystic pond.
He sallied forth in vesture grand
To greet each day with outstretched hand
He took the chance to dream anew
To open doors, to life be true
While all the time the hope grew strong
He’d find the spot where he belonged !
