In Days Of Youth
C By Brad Corallo 
Word count 153

In days of youth,
I dreamt of kings and deeds of great renown.
Of princesses and ladies fair
and a world where things were sound.
Where evil could not stand for long 
against honor truth and love.
Where guns were banned  
and all embraced the symbol of the dove.

I imagined noble leaders 
to believe in and revere.   
Unselfish pointers of the way 
who could overcome all fear.

Though now I'm old 
and known hard truth,
I can't abandon dreams of youth.

Through four black years
when hope grew dim
and sneering bullies held the field
I still dreamt of noble deeds 
where love and honor were revealed. 

Perhaps I am a naive fool 
to believe compassion will one day rule.
So be it, I'll never change.
Through it all I'll dream 
and perhaps one day awaken
to a just world not yet seen!
