Imagine that...

This entry wasn't dated on the page but it came right after one dated May of 1991. I don't know if it was written then or if I copied it down then. What I do know is that it was entered into a contest during my childhood and it won second place. How's that for ambiguous...

Imagine That

The father spends the day
In the world of his work
His business his
Encompassing thought
Though there once was
A glimmer, a dream, a time
When he was a hero
And could conquer the world
And only had to Imagine That...
 
The mother has no time
She hustles and bustles
Too fast to see the
Wonders Waving
Too old to remember
A time, a place
Where a dollhouse
Became a world of its own
And she only had to Imagine That...

The child wakes to the sound
Of unicorn hoofbeats
And Flies a dragon
To breakfast
Where he eats with his friends
That his Parents can't see
And he wishes and dreams
And Imagines that...
