The Boy Wonders
 
  A little boy walks home from the park.
after a long day of play
when he looks up at the sky
and watches the clouds go by,
He wondered
what lies behind the clouds and past the sky?
Maybe there are other things somewhere out there
looking up at the sky and wondering the same things

As he walked home from the park.
after a long day of play
he looked at a bug crawling in the grass and wondered
How does the world look to the bug?
What is it thinking right now?
He thought it might be thinking of how many big creatures there were
and what life would be for it if it were as big as the wierd creatures it saw

As he walked home from the park.
after a long day of play
He looked at a bird and wondered
What does that bird feel when it is flying so high in the air?
How does it see the world around it?
Then he imagined himself being able to fly high,
being able to see so much.

As he walked home from the park.
After a long day of play
He looked at a snail and wondered
Why does that snail move so slow?
And why it has to carry it's home on it's back?
He imagined how life would life would be for him if he went as the snail
He would be late for everything
and he imagined how it would feel to have to carry his house with him every where.

when he got home he told his parents all of the things he had been thinking about
then he had dinner and he and his parents went to bed
But while his parents lay there in bed
they to began to wonder.

Wonderful poem, what would our lives be without imagination??





We imagine, horses in the sky
wonder how they do that
as they go floating by
over the horizon high


We imagine angels up there
surfing along with glee
and wonder to our selves
I wish it was me.


All sorts of animals we see
taking up fluffy forms
to suddenly do a change about
and become something without arms.

I’m in wonder at a child’s imagination.
