you believe you're invincible
(because you are)
you believe you can move the clouds
by just asking nicely
you know that home is wherever your mom and dad tuck you in at night
in the room with the dinosaur nightlight
that keeps the monsters under the bed
you're a knight and a king and an astronaut
all in the same day and all while
wearing a red and blue striped shirt
the bumps and bruises from falling off your skateboard
or from a crash landing when flying off the swings
are just battle scars that make you smile
after your mom kisses them and your tears dry
everyday is a treasure hunt and
everything is a clue
you think the world is yours to explore
(because it is)
and the future belongs to you.

challenge to make the world better: go for a drive and wave at strangers as you pass them. (a positive prank version of the old, honk-and-wave-the-other-way trick.) even though they might be confused and a little creeped out, they'll eventually appreciate the fact that a complete stranger was friendly to them and then they might keep the friendliness going. bonus human points* if you roll down your window and say hi, or give them a sandwhich.
*human points = extra points in life for being a real human being and making the world a better place. imagine that life is a game and to win you have the get the most human points. and kill the most zombies. but mostly, it's the human points part.
boxes of honey nut cheerios: three.
