I could changed my world...

"In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play..." - Friedrich Nietzsche 

Remember being a kid, when the world was full of possibilities?

I read the long thread of comments on fb and the jokes and some old terms used put a smile on my face. Those were comments from friends of BigV who used to frequent my house and cramped my small room to listen to old records, very long years ago. We would sing while someone strummed my old guitar till dusk. We’ll always sing along with Bee as she has a good voice so that we won’t be noticed to be out of tune.

I remember on weekends, the gang, boys and girls inclusive, used to go camping on the beach of PCB. We use to lie down on the sand at dusk and stare intently at the sky and look for the brightest star. Then we’ll close our eyes tightly and say "Star light, Star bright, the first Star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight’. And silently make our wishes. In the middle of the night, we revealed to each other what we wished for and had a good laugh later on.

I always wished for the same thing over and over and never half-heartedly. Then, I believed I could change my world just by making a simple wish...

Throw down your hat, kick off your shoes

I know you ain't goin' anywhere

Run 'round the town singin' your blues

I know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You have always been a good friend of mine

but you're always saying farewell

and the only time that you are satisfied

is with your feet in the wishing well...
