The Inspiration of this Poem

of fairy dust, oh what tales to tell.
In the child's mind full of hopes and dreams,
the reality of such things will never go unseen.
But someday, as time takes its toll,
the child grows and the soul gets old.
No longer does he see, the magic of his dreams,
for Father Time has replaced them with realities,
and so it seems,
his imagination no longer races,
his soul no longer embraces,
the fairy whispers of a child's dream.
One day, after a long day of work, I read my child a story before bed out of a book called "The Children's Book of Virtues" by William J. Bennett. The story was entitled "The Stars in the Sky" which was adapted from Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Nora Archibald Smith. It was an old English tale that reminds us the higher we reach, the longer and harder we have to try. For anyone who has a pre-school child, it's a great story to share with them and so is every other tale in the book. :thumbs_up :nod:
