AN: Yay! Another poem! This one was from Zanisha's request (about Sora,
Riku, and Kairi's childhood memories) in free-verse! It is pretty long.
Wow. My first non-rhyming poem. I hope you guys like it! By the way, I have
special shout out to Captain Spam, Doomboy2000, and Zanisha for being my
best and most loyal reviewers! You guys are the best!!!!! Okay. You can
still give suggestions for poems (I'm working on the one CaptainSpam
suggested on right now, which will be up this week!). Thanks a lot!

When Things Were Simple

When we were younger

Weren't things just more simple?

When our only worry

Would be getting sunburned

Or not catching any fish

We'd watch the giant ocean waves

The older kids surfing

But us...we'd go to the pool

And our secret haven

The cave, where all our adventures occurred

I thought I was a pirate

And someday I'd find buried treasure

We were so small

Without a care in the world

And our most prized possession

Was our collection of seashells

Riku would make us helmets

Out of the largest empty coconut shells

And we'd pretend to be in the army

Play fighting with our wooden swords

We had our special clubhouse

Built way up in a tree

Where us three were the only members

Remember when things were simpler?

When we'd race across the sand

And explore the sea on our boats

When the nights were cool

And we'd lie on the beach

Staring at the stars

Sometimes we'd build sandcastles

or just sit under the paopu tree

Waiting for the fruits to fall

I won't forget the day

When Kairi found a baby seagull

I returned it to its nest

Even though we all wanted to keep it

I remember when things we so simple

When I found a clam

Inside of it was a pearl

And I gave it to Kairi

Remember when the sea breeze gently blew

And rainbows formed near the waterfall

And we had no worries at all

I wish things were still simple.
