Analysis of To Dream Once More
We took a walk into the park;
A lot of talk 'till it was dark.
We laughed at much and gazed at stars
And tried to touch the planet Mars.
The child in us is gone for most.
Adults who fuss and are engrossed
In what they lost or never felt;
The growing cost that ageing delt.
It's not too late to dream again.
Don't hesitate and let youth in.
