Letters Between a Little Boy Himself As An Adult

''Robert as boy''

Dear Mr. Brown

One day I'll be you and

Although I'm only eight now

You need to hear my rules

Never stop playing

Never stop dreaming and

And be careful not to

Turn into what I'd hate

''Robert as adult''

Dear little boy

I'm doing my best up here, but

It's a thankless job and

Nobody feels the same

You work long hours

Watch your credit rating

Pay your taxes and

Prepare to die

''Jody Ellen''

I have tried to keep my soul

I lost the fight to keep a hold

Now I am not awake

Now I'm not awake

''Robert as boy''

Hey Mr. Brown

That can't be what life is like!

I've watched some movies

And I've, I've read some books

Life should be exciting

And sometimes scary but

What you're describing doesn't

Seem worth the time

''Robert as adult''

Hey little boy

I think you are always right

I've dropped that worthless life and

I'm moving on

Life should be adventure

I'm stealing back my soul

I've lost too many years now

I'm awake

''Robert and Jody Ellen:''

You were right

I nearly lost my soul

I will fight to steal back my soul

Now I am awake

Now I'm awake
