Childhood Dreams

White and fluffy, sailing through the sky
Images of our childhood dreams
A fiery dragon, a pirate ship
An angel with gossamer wings

Unicorns dancing, horses flying
Cotton candy, so sweet and fun
A shining Knight with damsel fair
Everything glistening under the sun

Butterflies emerging from their cocoons
Castles with towers high
A scary cat, a witch and broom
Images that float slowly by

Mickey Mouse with Daffy Duck
Memories of fanciful things
The love and joys of childhood
I thank the sky for remembering

Warmth spreads all around
Glasses clink, toasts are made
In all a joyous sound

The summer I was four

Hot tubbed it with my mom
Dressed up as a Hogwarts witch
And made a magic wand
The summer I was four
