Magic!

Coming home from school


Pony-tail bobbing


Her skipping feet


Made their way to me


 


"Grandma, grandma


"There is real magic in the world!"


Her body and soul reverberates with joy


"Our caterpillar became a butterfly!"


 


"Big people don't believe in magic


So they should watch a caterpillar


And see the magic happen


When out of the chrysalis comes a beautiful butterfly!"

A lovely poem that reminds us that we should look upon much of life as children do--to see the beauty in all the wonderful nature around us.

I have a momma mallard with four baby ducklings. They waddle waddle quack quack and every afternoon when I come home, she has them under my veranda saying "look a here". I love it all. Thanks for a wonderful pome.

Karen,

Excellent write. With 9 grandchildren I get bombarded with questions when we're all together. Were we all that curious? Blessing Always, Paul.
