Now I have climbed the mountain high
And struggled there to touch the sky
I dreamt of visions I had seen
Somewhere above and in between
But all that time I found instead
These lofty thoughts lived in my head !
GO WITH YOUR HEART ( 2019 ) 2019/10/01
Long time ago, I remember well
There was a tale the old timers tell
Of a man who rode this way one day
Just passing through not meaning to stay
When a shy young beauty he did see
A sweet image for his fantasy.
Well the story goes, they got on great
While the rest of it was left to fate
The two young folks seemed to fall in love
Quite like the wish each was dreaming of
Remember when love has a good start
Most times it pays to follow the heart !
BY WAKING TIME ( 2019 ) 2019/02/06
Oh sandman, sandman what shall we see
In tonight’s sleepy time fantasy
While each evening I prepare for bed
I pray I’ll have pleasant dreams ahead
If I’m honest I cannot recall
Any of my dreams of old at all
They seemed to disappear ere came dawn
And by waking time they were all gone !
EYES OF FANTASY ( 2019 ) 2019/01/24
Oh how I wish that I might spy
A comet streaking cross the sky
Or sight a rainbow shining through
When clouds appear misted with dew.
I want to know which way to go
As evening stars commence their show
Or what it takes to reach the moon
By rocket ship or space balloon.
How wonderful this world would be
If seen with eyes of fantasy !
PEPPERMINT ( 2018 ) 2018/07/21
Oh how I wish that I could be
Those candy canes upon each tree
All shiny and so red and white
Delicious tasting, bite by bite.
While peppermint is full of zest
Let’s put each flavor to the test
I’m sure that chocolate is great
For other celebration dates.
Since Christmas comes but once a year
A time of joy, a time of cheer
I’d like to think that you and I
Will share these pleasures by and by !
MERMAID’S DREAM ( 2015 ) 2015/12/20
I’d like to be a shiny fish in life’s great big sea
I’d splash and swim all around my seaside fantasy
I’d nibble at the feast with tuna or some cod
Who knows, because I might digest scraps that they discard
Oh how much fun it would be to travel in their stream
And realise even I may share a mermaid’s dream !
CELEBRATION ( 2015 ) 2015/12/16
My thoughts do turn to silly things
Like hugs and kisses and brass rings
Like elephants and tiger eyes
A world chock full of wild surprise
A heart that’s packed with joy and peace
And music that will never cease.
Ballet shoes made of satin white
That keep on dancing through the night,
The love of God and angels sweet
Who choose to walk with unclad feet
Chocolates and marshmallows too
To help our sweetest dreams come true !
