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.

Debbie Duncan Date: 11/25/2019 2:03:00 AM 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.

Two people can read the same poem and come away with something totally different and unique. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 2/12/2019 3:11:00 AM - 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 :) Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/12/2019 3:24:00 PM You are right.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/11/2019 3:01:00 PM 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! Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/11/2019 3:51:00 PM 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.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/10/2019 7:42:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/10/2019 7:51:00 PM 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.

Heidi Sands Date: 2/10/2019 6:09:00 PM You are right. Well written :) Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/10/2019 7:07:00 PM Thank you Heidi. I am glad you liked it. I find life magical.

M. L. Kiser Date: 2/10/2019 4:56:00 PM This is so true. Children themselves, are magical. Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/10/2019 6:35:00 PM Thank you very much. I am glad you liked it. Bette Bavington Date: 2/10/2019 6:34:00 PM 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.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/10/2019 11:47:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 2/10/2019 12:33:00 PM 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.
