Imagine I Could Fly

Imagine I could fly

Spread wings and soar the sky

Up where the air is rare

Over storms and mountains high


Imagine I believed

The little voice inside of me

Had the faith of Heaven

And could shape my destiny


Imagine I could reach

Stars that twinkle in my eyes

Realize dreams I've wanted

Peacefully satisfied


Well imagine how happy

How happy it would be for us

To remove the obstacles

And place in GOD our trust


I imagine we would try

Spread our wings..... and soar the sky

We could Fly...

Hello Arturo … to watch an eagle soar the heavens drives the imagination to dream how wonderful this must be - thank you Arturo - Lindsay

I have flown in dreams, and in the sleepy half-realm between sleepiness and somnolence, I've whispered to myself, almost convincingly, that I certainly could do it. But from earliest times I was told more of the things I couldn't do than encouraged to try. Reading this, I believe I'll have another go. Excellent work. You might read my poem, Flight Without Wings.

Imagining that we can fly shows to god what we most long for and may well keep us out of the clutches of another and save us from the pit. Glad to see you are still posting. Best regards David in NZ

My friend, a truly great pleasure to read this fine poem. We fly if we see beyond the everyday sight of what surrounds us-- imagination is the vehicle and inspiration the fuel! You just proved that with this magnificent piece.. A fav-- a true inspiration..

My friend, fifty years on now and I am still walking forward. So much to learn and now so little time left to learn it.. Appears I wasted too much time in my wild youth but one can not change the past. God bless...

That is a poem of hope, and it is a good piece of poetry. Your video has a good story of a good guy doing good. It almost makes me want to be like him. And I have done my share of good deeds.

Correct, a poem of hope...life has enough problems without the added Corona virus, a truly sad time
