When You Have Nothing..... Something Is Everything.

When You Have Nothing..... Something Is Everything.

A Poem by Onlyme

He made a paper boat with
and the old newspaper he found
on the dirty streets.
And then took it to his
imaginary ocean inside
his mind.
And watch it sail a thousand
seas.

He then crumbled it up
and made a ball
and kicked it around
the street imagine
he was a famous
football player.

The imagination of a child
who has nothing is everything
to him. To make his world
a better place to live in and
to simply enjoy.

Gee
Crumbled- Crumpled ??
Escapism, I still do that when I'm at work, imagining I'm a mass murderer and all site management are my victims :))
Good morning Dawn, Dee, Deelightful, hope you are well.

This is so true! I could make a toy out of anything and anywhere when I was a child. I love that children can make something joyful, and that this ability is not improved by money.

We need to redevelop the imagination of a child again and put it to good use. I loved this. It reminds me of my childhood and just of being a child again and the innocence that I had then. I had far from nothing, but went on many "adventures" by myself seeing as I was the only child.

What you imagine or dream you become of to be....
The child is great and brave. He knows better that even if he aims for moon he will certainly land among stars....

Dream big :)
