Children have a wonderful way of making up games and magical stories.

Spontaneously running through the park and swinging on a swing.

Creating journeys of riding wild horses in a circus ring.

Using their imaginations while painting watercolor streams.

Twirling around and giggling as one wishes until they are dizzy.

Building impromptu tent cities in the yard.

Pretending their angel guides are eating lunch with them.

Wishing on a star while the moon gobbles up the cheese.

Being off the cuff with the details of their day.

Always adventurous without restraint.

Singing songs of those unrehearsed melodies.

Reading improvisational tales to their childhood friends.

Splashing about with dinosaurs in a wading pool.

Picking up buttercups to see if their chins turned yellow.

Hauling their dolls in the little red wagons, waiting for the ice cream truck to always appear.

Oh, how my dreams wander to these childhood memories,

making the land of make believe ever so vividly real.
