The Land Of Faraway
 

This quickly written poem was inspired by a art fabric done by Designer 1234, one of your quilter members on the forum. It was inspired by a photo she sent me of her Fabric art. I have a friend who maintains a list of my writing fans. Her name is Ann and she will send this out on the internet soon with music and Shirleys graphic. I hope you will enjoy it. Vickey Stamps

The Land Of Faraway

In the land of Faraway

A place where imagination can lay

The sound of laughter upon snow

In scenic places kids love to go

Two children playing beneath a tree

One that stood, one with bended knee

Exploring a track he’d chanced to see

As he waited beneath a slim Birch tree

Of a foxes foot that paused awhile

So later a child would come to smile

To picture the fox as he stood there

Showing his sister … needing to share

Watching the smile caressing her face

One that time would never erase

Now a soft wind whistled a sweet little sound

Through the limbs of the tree and onto the ground

The sound of laughter only children can bring

Rang forth from the two and beckoned forth spring

A frozen river with its layer of ice

Gave beauty to all …like a taste of good spice

For winter would stay yet for awhile

More children could come here. More could smile

More foxes to pause beneath a tree

In a land of magic for you and for me

It happened in the land of Faraway

Where beauty rests and children play

sorry...wrong picture, but you can see what a great job Shirley Paterson (Designer 1234) does

I love your poem!

Thanks for the reply dear Bonnie and glad you enjoyed it. I have a mailing list where stories are sent out on line. Send a PM if you want my friend Ann that adds music and graphics and mails them for me and I'll get you added to the list.
