Just Like Peter Pan...



If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic bean buyer. If you are a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax golden tales to spin, Come in! Come in!"

~Shel Silvertein

Uh huh...I am just a big kid at heart. I believe in fairies, Santa Claus, the magic of four leaf clovers, shooting stars and looking for pots of gold at the end of a rainbow.

I talk to puppets, believe that Sesame Street really exists, Mickey Mouse lives in a cottage smack dab in the middle of Disney World and that tea parties with teddy bears are oh so chic.


I believe that laying in the grass, watching clouds drift by, is a perfectly valid
 way to send an afternoon. I believe that dogs and cats talk to one another when we are not around, that thunder is the sound of God bowling
and I believe in the basic inate goodness of all people.





I won't grow up,



I don't want to wear a tie.



And a serious expression


In the middle of July.


And if it means I must prepare

To shoulder burdens with a worried air,



I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up

Not me,

Not I,

Not me!

So there!
