Long-Forgotten Dreams

Sitting on my front steps
  delighting in the scene
Discerning in the ordinary
  long-forgotten dreams

A toddler hides in mommy's skirts
  A dolly-girl presses dandelions to her nose
A brave lad stays up on a unicycle
  Can I, my imagination regrow?

As long as we don't lose the imagination we have - clever and entertaining, and thought provoking all at the same time. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Fascinating comment there, Jenna. Connecting its dots, so to speak, our minds leave our imaginations in the dust! Voila! ~ gw

Very generous of you, Karen... Seems to me though that my imagination needs plenty of recharging and TLC to make it through each successive day. ~ Frolic and Play, Gershon

We must be two peas in pod! It's one of my greatest pleasures in life --- outside of poignant moments with the family, which still happen quite often, thank God... ~ Gershon
