Mother woke the first greeting the sun. The children still exploring adventures in their dreams. Father left the earliest to dig deep into the Earth's crust.

It was my first day in big school, meeting all the new face's. Only to rest my eyes on the old souls, that I have connected with. New memories to look back to and the same vibrance to keep.
