ADULT world grows greater and greater by the day…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Goodbye, wild child, I hope that you will NEVER forget, how we ran so wild and free, over those, deserted woods, how we’d, bumped into, more than OVER a million little critters we want to take home with us, but mama told us we couldn’t keep!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Goodbye, wild child, I will, surely, miss you, you were, once my happiness, but, as I’d, aged a little every day, I’d, allowed the badness of this world that’s MADE by AND for adults, kill us slowly.  Goodbye, wild child, I won’t ever forget you, I promise, but, I’m afraid, that soon enough, I will, lose sight of you, as this life of mine, I’m destined, to lost that innocence you’d, instilled in me, long, long, LONG time ago………</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Goodbye, wild child, I will, surely, miss you, and, I haven’t a single clue, if I will, bump into you again, we’d, parted ways, I had to, grow up, I can’t stay young OR naïve as I had been once!  Goodbye, wild child, I already miss you now, I hope I don’t have to grow up, but, the ADULT world calls my name louder, and louder, and I can NO longer, just, ignore it, because if I keep on ignoring the calls, then, we’d, BOTH become DEAF!</p>
