Imagine

By Adrianne Thomas Erickson

… where fingers and sticks are people.

… where five-year-olds are radiant queens,

or lovely homemakers with bright red lips

and dozens of babies.

… where tea parties are held daily.

… where important-looking books

can be read upside-down.

… where all endings are happy.

… where all may rest from cares and woes.

Imagine … a little child’s world.
