Not Too Old to Dream I dream of things I know can't be. But that's okay, because you see These flights of fancy comfort me And entertain, quite harmlessly. On rainy days, I often find, I have warm beaches on my mind, Where sands are white and stretch unlined And tropic trees are bloomed and vined. Or when the weather is too hot, I think of Arctic ice, a lot, Where giant whales are sometimes sought And halibut and crab are caught. But even when the weather's fair, I often wander off somewhere, Where girls wear flowers in their hair And life is easy, rich and rare. Or find a shadowed country lane That sheltered kings and knights in chain. Where history's heroes long have lain, But seem to rise and ride again! I see them riding under trees. Their pennants flying in the breeze. Off answering some maiden's pleas And slaying dragons, with great ease! I don't know which dream I like best. Not one stands out above the rest. I send my thoughts off to the west. Imagination does the rest! Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (04-13-2004 07:28 PM).] |

It is often through day dreaming where I find my inspiration to write. I loved all of the dreams you mentioned and can relate so very well. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |
