This Child

This Child believes in magic. Peeking through the curtains of lace You see a small innocent picture perfect Little face. She 's terrific Far from being common place. A realistic Who wants to interface. Don't be a critic When she tells you about the small person With wings that was sitting on her window Sill who she was talking to is from another Place. Don't be a skeptic This is what makes her world so fantastic. Children are unique and special. Many magical Things are drawn to them. In case You didn't know they can understand the dialect Which gives them that rare connect To magic, frolic, And the intellect Of logic.

Nice one about the other side/ seeing things most people don't see and don't believe in. I believe! Hey thanks for coming to read my Contentment poem. I wrote it because I was cold and wanted to snuggle up. Was nothing to do with reading the bible. I was raised Catholic so I do know about the bible.

I am glad you liked it. I find life fascinating. I love poetry. Two people can read the same poem and come away with something totally different and unique. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

- Many children live between reality and fantasy world ... it may have a natural explanation - But I believe in angels, spirits, ghosts and supernatural experiences ... who knows ? :) - (Don't be a critic :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

My professor was very religious and he too saw the ghost because it was moving things!! There is so much out there that is unexplained!

Wow. That is a super. Yes. You are right there are a lot of things out there that are unexplained. Thank you for explaining that these ghosts were real. I had no idea. I just know children see a lot of things. Did your professor stay in the house after he saw the ghost moving things? This is amazing.

OUr college professor told us how his kids played upstairs in the attic with children ghosts! I think anything is possible with the young ones. They are still close to the 'other realm" nice poem.

Thank you Andrea. Children have the greatest imaginations. They can take a dirty old place and make it in to cinderellas's castle or a pirate ship. My favorite one is when they talk to their invisible friend. I hope you have a great week.

I have found this to be true. My eleven children were all magical and each one was different. Most of what I post has come from them. Now I am getting my writings from my 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. They are so much fun.

Perfectly true. Wonderful write. This part made my heart leap with joy: "Don't be a skeptic This is what makes her world so fantastic. Children are unique and special. Many magical Things are drawn to them. " loved it! a FAV for me.

Thank you Caren. I am glad you liked it. I see to many parents as well as children today who want to squish the magic. It's not right. I hope by what I have learned that I can give some of it back to them.
