There are many lovely poems
And sayings of lively import.
That are carried in the hearts
And minds of many childlike sort.
Some are created from dreams
Of small people, such as a child.
Others from active adventurous tots,
Accustomed to the call of the wild.
Of many various interesting tongues,
From even exotic earthly climes,
Little people create in play fantasies
That ultimately come together in rhyme.
All these little children have one
Wonderful, fanciful thing in common,
They take from hopes and dreams
What their child’s hearts can summon.
— Astrid C.
