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

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

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.
