We do not know of it
Nor how it came to be here
Nor why it continues to work here

Let your imaginations soar
When you're feeling bored.
Grab a pen to scribble your ideas that have lit
In your mind, and then unleash your creative spirit.

It was the afternoon;
I saw a shadow
Looking like it was hugging the floor.

Of the fears that paralyze you?

Joy
A feeling that warms you from head to toe
So simple it could rise from eating cookie dough
Expressed with smiles and laughter
It sometimes ends with happily ever after

I crawled into her lap;
My tears smudged her dress,
Yet she held me.
