Flying Without Wings
Feel the wind rushing by
Let your arms spread wide
You are free, you can fly
It’s an awesome ride.
Never fear that you’ll fall
Go by the moon in the sky.
Watch the moon rise and fall
Inspect the planets you pass by.
Touch the rays of moonbeams
Hide and play in the milky way.
Open your mind to your dreams
Up you go, have fun and play.
Take the trip of a lifetime.
Wish upon a star, pick one out
It will come true, turn out fine
Notice others flying, give a shout
Greet them with a smile
Soar like an eagle, stay awhile.

It soared for me, it made me smile, I much, much loved this, it is beautifully done and it is as your name, in a way...I don't know, rather Angelic...like a smiling angel opening up the hopes and the sky telling us to see the beauty and enjoy and...Oh, I yes, dear Joan, much loved this...
I have a children's poem {of all ages
!} about a little wish and this reminded me of that only this took 'me' soaring enough to brighten a somehat greay day and I so much Thank You!]

I love those flying dreams! I've had a few,there was one where i was Mighty Mouse...I flew very close to the ground though, I'm scared of heights. Had some close calls with a tree or two
This just flowed off my tongue like liquid velvet Joan - flawlessly written to this reader Bravo! Here's the clap!

Again, I must say...you are the Queen of Acrostics Joan This is just fabulous. Such lovely imagery and such a positive and upbeat feel to the piece in general. I think I could read this one over and over. Actually I think I shall call my mother and read it to her. I think she would love it Magnificient piece and so very well penned I'm off to bed now, with your lovely visions in my head Blessings and
Always, Love, Gypsy

Darling Pixie, keep on believing in that dream as you know from me "That dreams do come true." and wishes are granted, I got mine when I went to New Zealand and your wishes will also come true, just pick a special star and keep making that wish.
