Magic Toys

Have you ever really wondered What goes on when children sleep? All cuddled up inside their beds And having dreams so sweet? Through a room that’s softly darkened Did you perhaps peek in and see Distant movements in the shadows And wonder what it could be And did what you see surprise you Dancing dolls and teddy bears Toy soldiers all stanced for battle Micky Mouse rocking his chair Was that slinky doggie moving towards The closet in the room To have fun with his good buddy That big overstuffed baboon? Was that Raggedy Ann and Andy Gently hugging your sweet child As he lay there soundly sleeping In his sweet angel like style? Now you’re really in amazement Are you seeing what you see? Can the toys a child loves so much In darkness move and breathe? Perhaps we’ll never really know the answer to this question For if they do, They try it seems to have a private session. Although you may be grown and think you’ve outgrown childish things Your inner child is still alive, relish the joy it brings.
