Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

I wish we could go, go back to the time
When we were all once young and innocent:
A place believed as the time of our prime
A time of youth; one quite magnificent.
A stage, where not one had an enemy
Though, but a phase full of boundless friendship.
We reflect on this time; regretfully
For we let some precious moments slip.
These cherished moments that last forever
In the deepest corners of our frail hearts,
Until we age, we will still remember
Those memories which flew as fast as darts.
Though now we are older and much wiser,
Inside will be the child I remember.
