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.

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!

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.

I love this. It is a fave, since it includes so many of my own beliefs!

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.
