There was a time when horses roamed The heaven's starry sky, And children stood near window sills Wishing they could fly. And pigeon feathers drifted down A feather tinged with gray And sometimes, little children thought An angel came their way. And cloudy skies were nothing but Imagination's light Of floating things, and puppet strings And chocolatey delights. Days would fade, and nights would pass And the little children grew To love and hate the skies above No matter what was true. They moved away, two worlds apart Much like the earth and sky So close it seemed, yet so far away A forever of goodbyes. Yet earth and sky are much alike Within two worlds apart For once upon this starry night We are children still, at heart. * * * * * We will always be little children, no matter how young or how old we are... Comment: I originally wrote two versions of this poem, but I thought you guys would enjoy the shorter sweeter one. Muahaha. *ahem* Anyways, this is dedicated to a special person who is always a child at heart, no matter what. ^_^ And many thanks to all the people who make me smile. You guys will always be my angels (no matter how pigeon-feathered you may be, lol)! ^_^ And to everyone else: Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry. I can never thank you enough. *goes into perpetual "thank yous" and eventually passes out* ++ Leah ++ Va pensiero sull' ali dorate...

LEAH questo è la bellezza che pura tutto è così buono unito, i verses... " ed i bambini si sono levati in piedi il Window vicino sills desiderando che potrebbero pilotare. " sapete che mi ricordano a.lot del mio desiderio come bambino * il sigh*... questo è allineare una parte meravigliosa... tale parte del significato del art(of e la sensibilità che lo ha dato) ha bewitched me. profondo overal e scritta buona e voi dicono sempre relativo per qualcuno i whos speciali un bambino a cuore? il hmm... non molti di quelli intorno... ma quel genere di cuori è la MAGGIOR PARTE del dont che di difficoltà... pensate? anyways, cura dell' introito. =) |

Wow!! I haven't read much work from you but, out of what I have read, this was my favorite. You've really captured the essence of youth, which isn't an easy thing to do. This was just so beautiful and dreamlike..I LOVED IT!!! I'm definitely putting this one into my library.. Please don't *ever* stop writing!!   ~*Nikki*~ *~Fighting for your love~* |

WOW This poem really touched me while reminding me how much I miss the younger years of my life and being carefree. This is a wonderful little escape well done The world is like a mirror; frown at it, and it frowns at you. Smile and it smiles, too |
