About the Item

When we were young, the world was a dream, Where our hearts were pure, untouched by the stream. Innocence danced on the wings of the breeze, As we chased rainbows and climbed old trees. Our laughter echoed through the meadows of time, Boundlessly hopeful, like a cheerful chime. Each day held magic, a treasure untold, As we wove stories with imagination bold. The sunlit skies whispered secrets to us, As we danced in fields, in a euphoric truss. The whispers of flowers, delicate and slight, Wrapped us in fragrant, sweet delight. Days were painted with friendships ablaze, Accompanied by summer's golden haze. We built castles of sand, dreams in our eyes, Underneath kaleidoscope sunsets in the skies.
