The Adulthood Dream

Tears stream down my face The flag has been folded The firefighter has been laid to rest. The childhood dream fulfilled.

Tears stream down my face I claw my way out from dirt and ash Coals of my passion are fanned by the calm winds of a new morning.

These new tears are not of sorrow These new tears are of joy

New freedom, new challenges The adulthood dream begins.
