Second Star to the right....

hey. how about this....
let's let imagination run wild
with reckless abandon.
with colors so bright
you can't stare directly at them

like for real.

let's get crazy
and wierd
and believe in
all the things
like
love
and goodness
and happy endings
and fairy dust
and wishes
and shooting stars
and endless possiblities

Let's believe for once
that nice guys
finish first
and that the good
die of old age
holding hands
with the one they love

and maybe we can forget
about regets
and mistakes
and skinned knees
and tear drops

Then maybe
we can forgive each other
understand each other
extend grace
even when it's hard
becuase we all deserve
to have a "do-over"

I mean mulligans aren't just
for golfers
there for anyone
who believes that
Hope isn't crazy.
that we can be better
and learn from the past
for those who truly feel like
the world doesn't mean to break
your heart

Broken hearts
are just mosaics
held together by grace and time
so we can make wishes
on stars
and eyelashes
and dandilions
and wishing wells
with the hope
that "Happily Every After"
isn't just for
Fairy Tales

it's for real life, too.
