how I lived for an alphabet of rose
the gift of learning more beyond an azure door
of snow skies very close to Christmas.
the stenciled ivory moon
the hope of very soon
to close my eyes and be
another place indeed
verging on the stars.
the summer unfolding of time
gardenia scented rhymes
the lilies on the altar laid
the infinite parade of story land.
the birthday cake at hand
one true wish kept secretly
the playhouse to be found
painted lime and pink
the power to think free and
fleeting as clouds
all on my own
yet still at home
dreaming and dreaming and dreaming.
