Daydreams Alive

Spaceman, Knight and Soldier
Princess, Queen and Bride,
The world is your oyster,
When you play outside.

Daydreams are alive,
And the fields your stage,
Oh how I remember,
Playing when your age.

I watch now from my window,
As you skip and play,
Little impish child,
You brighten up my day.

A tribute to the children in Cyprus, where it is still safe to run and play outside. They grab sticks and old shoes, their imagination runs wild. I can only speak a little Greek, but I understand their games. The voices of the pretend mother, the gruff father and squeaky baby. They climb trees with no fear, it reminds me of my childhood in the 1960's.
