Frederic Parker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

A Lovely Little Daydream

To sit and daydream upon the farthest hill
Let my eyes wander across a meadow green
Conceive of rainbows whose colors spill
And paint the sky with a glorious sheen

Free my mind to drift like children spin 
And find a child like joy to fulfill
To picture little feet as they run again
Trying to capture the light of day until

Escape to skies of sunsets and starlight
Lose myself in beauty they beseech
To fly on wings like creatures now in flight
As they glide horizons out of reach

Dream of worlds my mind will come to form
And want a life that's filled with waterfalls 
Where colored wings of butterflies begin to swarm
To daydream on this hill 'till forever calls
