Magic Kingdom

I took a trip, a wild trip, far past the speed of light
To fringes of the universe, one dark and starry night
I went on a safari to a place it hardly rains
And met a sleeping lion on the Serengeti plains

Everything is magical, mysterious and mystical
Everything is beautiful and colorful and wonderful
This is where the night is lit with fiery magnificence
It’s a Magic Kingdom , with a welcome mat of innocence  

I traveled half around the world, and when the trip was through
I took a boat to fantasies, and made a dream come true
This place can twist a day into adventure from the start
Especially for a Grandma with a child in her heart

Everything is magical , mysterious and mystical
Everything is beautiful and colorful and wonderful
This is where the night is lit with fiery magnificence
It’s a Magic Kingdom , with a welcome mat of innocence  

It’s a place where children find a fairy book’s most awesome page
It’s a place where children go to dream, no matter what their age

I always looked upon Mr. Disney as
a very fatherly type of man, to any
man, woman, or child...of any age...

he brought us innocence, and a place
in which to delight the child within us...

I'm so glad you found a piece of that
magic, to share with us all.

You and I have both travelled many a road Liz, and I have to agree with you, that my trip to Disneyland with the girls wins out by far for the most rewarding, and wonderful trip I have ever had.  There is absolutley nothing like the smile of a child in Disneyland, and that includes the child in each Gramma too!

I am so happy you got to share that experience and where's my pictures?

At Disney World
she took a whirl
left Florida draped
in magic swirl
Hugged her way
around the park
left Bill and Marge
with friendship's spark
She came
she saw
she smiled with glee
when Lady Liz met
the kid in me~


LovelyLizzyLady~
There is magic afoot with you around ...~
May your memories continue to word-sparkle~

*Huglets*

~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~

you Liz, are a song of miracles, you view the deepest gifts of life, with incredible feelings, humbleness and great affection for all the things that life has to offer.  Thank you hun, for this, for you, and for always sharing your adventure.  

Hugs
