A rag doll lies somewhere in a cupboard
together with comics and some balloons.
Nicely washed clothes,
freshly ironed on the shelves.
A thought of joy, laugther, innonce and
ignorance waves further away
as I shut the cupboard door.

I almost fall over a huge pile of books.
Held back by the awareness of the present.
Being a hostage of the final exams.

I catch myself smiling.
Almost hypnotized by my dreams and goals.
I see a glance of my future.
Enterpreting at important conferences.
Discovering the seven seas and
its many landscapes and cultures.
A beautiful house with a garden
full of flowers that deliver an enchanting scent.
My prince charming whom I love deerly.
And a rag doll embraced by my little girl...
