L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Wishes and Sunbeams

Imagination fills our heart with delights
Fairies, leprechauns, dragons, and such,
Doing things with a mere transient hunch
Taking us to see most remarkable sights
We can only experience in wildest dreams,
Real in our childhood, lost as we slowly age
Comes a time we dismiss wizard and sage.
But, I still believe in wishes and sunbeams
I see no harm in wishing on a distant star
Or tossing a coin in a beautiful fountain,
Believing we can climb the highest mountain
Or travel to exotic places calling from afar.

Gershon Wolf March 21, 2022 at 6:10 PM No harm at all! Au contraire... :) L Milton Hankins March 21, 2022 at 8:39 PM I've been told I see life through rose-colored glasses. I don't know about that, but I'm convinced there is more to this life than most of us have laid claim to. So, I'm staking my claim!

Marco Chies March 21, 2022 at 5:57 PM liked it. much. L Milton Hankins March 21, 2022 at 8:39 PM Thanks a lot, Marco. I was waiting on my doctor today and jotted it down. She teared up when I read the rough draft to her. See comment to Karen below.

Caren Krutsinger March 21, 2022 at 4:17 PM I love this. It is a fave, since it includes so many of my own beliefs! L Milton Hankins March 21, 2022 at 5:09 PM Caren, I wrote this while waiting for my doctor today. I read it for her and she teared up, so I told her I would title it "Waiting for Vada." I'm going to have it printed on parchment and give it to her as a gift. I'll title it "Waiting for Vada," too.
