Childhood

I remember when as a child
I would pretend to be able to control
the street lights. I would pretend i could change
the color from red to green than yellow, sometimes
I would count and swear that when I hit ten it would change
to green. As an adult I realize that I have the ability to change
many things, even control them. This weekend I believed I had to let
things take their course, but today I realize I have the ability to turn that
street light to red so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TEN it is red and I come to complete
stop and that is okay.
