The Great Pretender

On a country house walk Nature grandeur and 'old' money talk ...I pretend this is mine ! A day spent in an art gallery The artist's mindset I see ......I pretend that it is mine ! When I watch the sporting elite As talent and determination meet .....I pretend this is mine ! Listening to a Mozart phrase Understanding genius' ways ....I pretend that they are mine ! When I read wise words Created to be said and heard ...I pretend that they are mine !

Well no pretending on the last three lines, for that's how many of us feel when we read your words! Yes, imagination can be fun. Think we all have been there. Wonderful to read. Love, Shar
