When I was a little girl,
Standing somewhere between four and five feet tall,
I had an imaginary friend named Sebastian
Although he didn’t seem imaginary at all

He had a bald head
with a halo right on top
A small white dress and sandals
And a big nose that seemed to flop

He would always be there for me
To take my hand and lead
He was always happy and nice
And had to keep up with my speed

When I was with him
Which was a lot
He took me to a world
I knew better than the one I trot

A world of monkey trees
Scooters with a name
Ice cream for no reason
A world filled with the carefree, wild, and untamed

Underwater tea parties,
Swimming School and Climbing trees
Things that have turned to dust
Only distant memories to me

Although I have grown older
Joined a game with a much different tone
There are still times where
I wish I could go back
And play a game of “Home”

Although I’m being pulled away
From the fun I had when I was so small
Sebastian stays with me
And whispers into my ear
“You will always have me, no matter how tall. I’m only a world away from that little girl I saw.”
