As a child,
I had heroes,
Also known as childhood heroes,
But then I grew!
Now in adulthood,
all my heroes have been found wanting!
If only I could return to my former hood!
I speak not of the place where the walls are stained,
Where souls find relief on the pavement instead of a home,
And where the metropolitan noise is much like ***** music from the sanctuary!
No!
I speak of innocence, incorruptibility, probity,
And a playfulness unadulterated!
There! That!
There is where I want to be!
That is what I want,
Not only for me,
But for my family!
