Her First Verse

I like to dream, yes, that is me of places new and fine to see. To stream through night skies with a star, or float on cotton clouds afar. What new adventure could life hold for someone creaking and so old? I think I'll follow grandchild one, she's going somewhere to have fun. These are her words, and they ring true, of swimming in the ocean blue! Down Under the Sea: Down under the sea the fish swim free so the sharks and all the animals. But there are people down below the waves. You might know them as mermaids, they say, "don't be shy, we will take a ride under the ocean waves. It will be fine, don't close your eyes DOWN UNDER THE SEA!" Now, there's a dream for young and old, I love my grandchild's heart of gold. She swims in seas, I fly with stars, we may soon blaze a trail on Mars. Her First Verse 5-13-15 **For Naomi B. who wrote the middle stanza! ~~May all your adventures be bold, all your new days bright, all the people you meet, your friend. Grandpa
