The Minds' Eye

Thank heaven for my imagination
It's given me quite alot
Danced me through many a situation
Saved me from battles fought

Within my mind lies beauty and grace
Splendor in this world
No need to condemn or ever debase
My fist remains uncurled

Through the window of my eye
I find such wondrous things!
I smell the salty tide flow by
Skip along Saturns' rings

I've visited lots of exotic lands
Built toys with Santas' elves
Played in many rock and roll bands
Conversed with dolls on shelves

Through the imaginings of my mind
I'm driving a fancy car
Or maybe I'm being wined and dined
By a famous movie star

Imagination's an awesome thing
So much that you can do
Fly away on an angel wing
If only you've a mind to!

Smile ~ "I Really Truly Deeply Love This, 'Beautiful Poem, Dear Lovely Deb Wilson!!!'" ~ "Thank You" for stopping by today dear lady for, I was hoping one day that "Your Beauty" would ~ And "Yes," without the wonderous faith of "A Beautiful Child" that All things can be then, how can We behold the hope of "A Promise" ~ Smile, I hope that "Your Treasures" are enjoying either a glorious day & or evening or, beautiful dreams, filled with beautiful scenes ~ ....Cont:)

We didn't have a lot of material things when I was a kid, Deb, but my sister and I used our imaginations to the fullest. Now about that mvie star -- do you think you could send Brad Pitt my way, or should I just conjure up a clone in my own imagination? Enjoyed your upbeat poem! Love, Carolyn
