Once upon a perfect dayA Poem by Mark Hurlin Shelton
Over and up, in my minds eye a rainbow
a sky and a sea and a garden of green A breeze to blow all clouds away, I see children play Once upon a perfect day Gleeful grins and dreaming eyes chasing the clouds and climbing trees playing in mud, and laughing in streams can we tumble again through the meadows of our fragrant flopp, cuddled days to toddle and toy through life again in the innocence of playful ways On tiptoe, we touched the sky explored the trees that talked into our tipsy truant hearts Let us live it all again my cowboy and Indians, my loving peers in wonder sharing, learning and living free in the yell of our yes lets do it again Mommy I love my world and we will never grow old in this never say never of lands i will stay here and play with my sisters and brothers mummy oh I, lover of rainbows and roses Oh I love banana sandwiches Oh my sweet children my piglets and poohs als, if only you could fly your kites and play here forever Fly now, and play now, before the dragon wakes and the starry diamonds of the sky turn into the blackest coal always cherish this leaping time my hooligan cherubs my pixie tribes stay simple in your singsong hearts and question everything that the grownups tell you.
