Book Review: The Little Prince ©

I used to read
The Little Prince
To discover myself.

“Grown-ups do not understand”
Made a lot of sense.

And I read it out to you
Cried over the star
Over the horizon
Wept over lost innocence
Wept over broken dreams
Dreams that had no right
To be dreamt
Because dreams speak
Future
And you dwelt in the past
Bogging down
The present

I left you my copy of
The Little Prince
At your request

But you cannot use it
For
“Grow-ups do not understand”
