Bob Blackwell - Imagination

Tastes the oceans salty brine.
Hears a dandelion tell the time.
Feels happy, sad, funny, kind.
Spots Alice’s fall to wonderland.

Observes a mouse run up a clock,
A small frog turns into a prince,
the genie of Aladdin’s lamp,
and the moon is made of cheese

Creates fantasies, makes us bold.
New works to enrich our world.
Saddens, gladdens and maddens,
Makes us poor, with many riches.

Overcomes life’s many difficulties,
Sees the funny side of things,
Hears angels, heavenly voices,
Makes come true our dreams.

Imagination gives verve to life,
Without it our mind is dead,
our life would be difficult, and
sounds of laughter seldom heard.

Our problems will remain unsolved,
Our difficulties, worries multiply,
All changes will make things worse,
Our life will become very dreary.
