A lifetime gift for a child.......
When I was only seven I received a wonderful gift
When I was only seven I received a wonderful gift A small blue trunk - it wasn't too hard to lift
I looked inside and what did I see?
A doll ? And all her clothing ? This is for me?
"The heck with the doll" I said as I pitched her out.
"I want to use this for traveling here and about."
And so I began my imaginary trips
Packing clothes and stuff for cruises on ships.
Or maybe I'd take it on my little red wagon
Hoping to find a most friendly green dragon.
My small blue trunk was my way of learning
What life I wanted and obviously was yearning.
And years later I am still packing for pleasure
Traveling with my best friend- our life is an adventure!
traveling with your love,
ReplyDeleteyour spirits always sail above..
divine sentiments,
keep moving forward.
A++
So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis potluck is going to be an emotional one.
Great piece,it must be so freeing to feel that anticipation of travel - usually my travel entails working up in the northern part of Canada and I don't see such lovely trees....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous gift that was- mostly because of your wonderful imagination. Wishing you good health and contentment! You look content in the photo, how nice to have a good friend to share your adventures.
