Magic Carpet Ride - Visions of Childhood

Love the child within you

 

 Let the child in me come out to play
   in that nudging bud of youth that still remains
Etch its frolic deep within my heart
   so I will always remember
the blushing rose petals that fall in May

 

 

I want to take a magic carpet ride
   through all the white, fluffy cotton candy clouds I'll fly
until I spy the trees, the flowers and land
   and listen to the ocean waves
while my happy toes wriggle in the sand
  on my colorful carpet soaring high up in the sky

 

 

I want to remember...
   the first ray of sunshine that starts the day
like precious jewels of gold
   gleaming through windows in Heaven
as it weaves hopes and dreams in my childlike play

Let we walk with wonder through mystical forests

And

peek through enchanted cottages along the way

  

 

  Restore my memories- oh Mother Earth

of your magical, sacred ways

that weaved their delicate threads

throughout the gossamer fabric of my memories

as I rewrite my stories in my grownup days

 

 

 Bring back to me your magic ways

Let me count the many colors of your rainbows
   Watch the clouds make playful images in the sky
as I tumble and roll down grassy hills
   pretending I have mighty eagles wings to fly
Then - sleep soundly under the stars at night
    giggling peacefully in my dreams...
 floating upon a river blue and wide...
    on my wonderful magic carpet ride
