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!

I absolutely loooooooove Shel Silverstein!! And I looooove your passion for staying young! Me, too!
What a delightful post. The older I get the more I agree with every single word! Your images would inspire the child within everyone.

I think those of us with your same philosophy have lots more fun. I never seem to be at a loss for playmates. Have a fun weekend, Sue.
Never, never, never grow up, Sue! We love you just the way you are. I loved your whimsical post and we are Shel Silverstein fans at our house, too.
Loved the post. Why grow up if we don't have too. I know I never will and I hope you never do. You are such a treat!
Marionettes and Peter Pan songs! Works for me!
