Imagine

Imagination
(see images in the clouds)

Imagination often challenged
By the clouds up in the sky
The images contained therein
Are searched for by the eye

Imagination tries to leave us
As we move on up in age
Images in clouds no challenge
Will not provide a living wage

Imagination is what made us
Took  us along the way
How we used and managed it
Put us where we are today

If imagination leaves us
New adventures do not glean
Life becomes a boring place
Like none other we have seen

Should always think, “where will I be?”
In a month or in a year
And imagine your existence
And see that image clear

Then work to make it happen 
That's how we got to where we are
A year is not so very long
We can be our own bright star

So continue to imagine
It will help you keep some youth
Even though you're getting older
And longer in the tooth
