As the child is sleeping As soundly as can be Right before his eyes He can plainly see A place filled with laughter A magical land of dreams Where everyone is happy And things are as they seem Where all is joy and peace Where no-one speaks a cross word This place is full of joy and love And no shouting is ever heard I wonder if he wishes That he could ever stay there Where Mommy and Daddy are happy And fear he would not bear |

I remember when I was 4 (I was a always a bit awkward and abnormal), I realised that life wasn't all too great, but that when it went on it was just going to get harder and more confusing... so I wanted to stay that age. I'll bet, in their dreams, that's the wish of most children. It's so amazing to see a child's peace and to watch them smile... such innocence. It's sad that we grow into fear so well... This is a beautiful write, Ethel.  Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Joyce kilmer |

Ethel Mae, I wish what you have so tenderly expressed, could be true for every child on this planet! That would truly be Heaven on Earth!   Linda |

Lovely, this is what I wish for my granddaughters, but they don't have much of a chance at having it. Sandra |

Great, refreshing right. It reminds me of one of my favorite blue-grass tunes, "Rock Candy Mountain". If I remember correctly, they played it on that "O'Brother, Where Are Thou" movie. Yes, it reminds me of that quite a bit. It seems like a great place to be. Even if just in dreams. Well done. Kevin |

ethel, As a child sleeps... wouldn't it be nice if all children and adults slept without fear: A place filled with laughter A magical land of dreams Where everyone is happy And things are as they seem Where all is joy and peace Where no-one speaks a cross word This place is full of joy and love And no shouting is ever heard A beautiful wish, ethel. Thank you for sharing your heart. Sadelite |

Such beauty in thought, and that it could be so. Children are magic. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

I wish this could be so, as well Ethel. It's so difficult when dreams are a better place than reality for some. You've captured this sweetly. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |
