Where Are All the Dragons?

"What is a dragon"? said Tommy to mom and why have I never encountered one?

"A dragon is magical and flies in the sky, but you have to look up if you want to see one
go by".

Tommy decided he would just have to wait, as he gazed to the sky and his neck it did ache,
he decided it better to lie flat on his back, he was sure as a dragon watcher he had the
knack.

He watched and he waited as the birds soured up high , "But where are the dragons"? Tommy
did cry?

Then all of a sudden he jumped to his feet  "look there mommy the dragon I seek"

Mommy just smiled never making a sound,  tommy 's dragon was made out of  cloud.

She pulled him close and she gave him a hug, she told Tommy she thought he did good,

She said "Life has no mystery you can not uncover, theres so much Tommy for you to discover,

keep your eyes open and wonders you'll see,

and I'll see them too when you smile back at me"!
