MEMORIES AND DREAMS I hang on, to my childhood memories. for I know I can no longer do what I did as a child. I cling, to my childhood dreams because I still have a chance to become what I dreamed of becoming. Leonie. Beyond a mere shadow of doubt there lies an answer. Beyond the heavens there is another world. Beyond dark death, there is a bright Iife. But beyond love, there rs no greater element. Leonie.
