Sweet Dreams My Child

Sort of a bedtime story for children..I am certainly out of my comfort zone with this..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I soar like an eagle over mountainous terrains

I run like the antelope through bountiful plains.

 

I swing to and fro in “Rain Forrest” trees, it’s

nice to have arms that hang below the knees.

 

I walk like a man over urban streets, I’ll sing

you a song just like jungle parakeets.

 

I’ll bloom like a rose in a garden of weeds, I’ll

Shine like the sun over all that impedes.

 

Sweet dreams my child, wrapped up in glory,

I hope you enjoyed my bedtime story..

This is so sweet, and the imagery is fantastic - I can just imagine a child's eyes with wonder as you read this to her/him!

Again, you stretched yourself and another pearl has been created.

Tis charming this and charm takes the poet a long way, especially when it's showing a soft un-self side. Poems like this help to erase the cynicism in so many others.

I listened to the video twice and sang along the second time .. what fun :) .. there are plenty of moments when I'd be more than happy to be back in the playground. la la la-la!

The imagination of children is so hard to capture. When we "grow up" we lose something I think. In a world that is so bent on accomplishment, corporate, media, and the like.. don't you wish you could just hit rewind for a minute.. to just be innocent, pure and have the freedom of the child. I think your work speaks volumes about you, and this.. even though you may not be in a comfort zone.. speaks to me.. saying just that.


As Always- Ever intrigued by you
