How wonderful to be a child and still believe in dreams.
Of talking trees and flying fish with brightly colored wings.
With little mushroom home for all those fairies that abound
And mounds of brightly colored flowers that are blooming all around.
The animals would talk to you and they would understand
That you would never hurt them, just take them by the hand.
How nice to wake up every morn with a great big contented smile
What a wonderful world that it would be if we all thought like a child.

hmm, try it, it is a fascinating adventure to go out in nature and let the mind run free of our 'adult' imposed restrictions. I have actually seen flying fish, they don't really fly of course they just kind of glide over the water for a ways. And some valleys I have walked into truly look like a place where fairies would live and frolic in the shadows. And Dreams? Oh, they can come true, I've experienced this several times.

@HazySue it is. Which makes me think what a dumb plot it was when they made the story of Peter Pan 
cause what child have you ever known or heard of says " I don't want to grow up" like he says in the story ? none ! 
that I ever knew of.

It certainly would be nice if we could revisit those innocent childhood days.

beautiful poem, ms. sue! yer last line hittin' nail'n head. i like to escape to that place from time to time. too many folks're'n a rush fer somethin' 'n don't seem to take the time 'f simple pleasures. nor to let their imaginations free.
