I found myself walking in a green magical forest,
with bright flowers and creeping vines everywhere;
the trees were breathing and the flowers whispering,
and those vines were moving- twining toward me.
I had gone to bed and grandma had tucked me in,
under my patchwork quilt I lay on my pillows;
I really loved my attic room and all my toys and pets,
especially Flippy Flop my cat and Dippy Dot my dog . . .
I read for a bit under my fancy lamp until my eyes closed,
then Teddy, nudged me and said- lets go on a journey
so, off we went with everyone following, oh dear, I said,
there was Flippy Flop, Dippy Dot, Teddy and all my toys too.
The rabbits, dolls, puppet soldiers, and three white horses,
we walked along- a long parade into the magical forest;
suddenly, my blue bird was flying over and a fairy doll too,
we went deeper and deeper into the green, oh dear, I said.
Along the way we stopped to chat with the trees and flowers,
the vines caressed us with tickles- little creatures giggled;
we saw pretty things like a gang of butterflies fluttering,
and hummingbirds whirling their wings so fast we laughed.
On and on we went until my eyes closed because I was sleepy,
Teddy, can we please go home, I miss my bed and pillows . . .
In the morning, Teddy was tucked in beside me and I kissed him,
Flippy Flop and Dippy Dot guarded me and all my toys watched.
Grandma came to wake me, asking sweet- how was your sleep,
I answered, GREAT, I went on a journey, and she just smiled;
It was time to get up for the day but I could not wait until bedtime,
and another journey with my pets, Teddy and my toys following.
