When we were very young


"Where am I going? I don't quite know.

Down to the stream where the king-cups grow --

Up on the hill where the pine-trees blow --

Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.

Where am I going? The clouds sail by,

Little ones, baby ones, over the sky.

Where am I going? The shadows pass,

Little ones, baby ones, over the grass.

If you were a cloud, and sailed up there,

You'd sail on water as blue as air,

And you'd see me here in the fields and say:

"Doesn't the sky look green today?"

Where am I going? The high rooks call:

"It's awful fun to be born at all.

"Where am I going? The ring-doves coo:

"We do have beautiful things to do."

If you were a bird, and lived on high,

You'd lean on the wind when the wind came by,

You'd say to the wind when it took you away:

"That's where I wanted to go today!"

Where am I going? I don't quite know.

What does it matter where people go?

Down to the wood where the blue-bells grow --

Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know."

When i little Kindergarten cop was my favorite movie. We still have the VHS from the early 90's, and it is all worn out from all the times i played it. Watching the movie today reminded me of my dad. It being fathers day reminds me of my dad. But mainly it reminded me of how much i miss him.

I miss him so much it hurts.
