~~MORE POEM'S AND THOUGHT'S TO ENJOY~~

~~BEGIN TO LIVE--TODAY~~
Live like there is no tomorrow, Dance like no one is watching,
Love like you've never been hurt."

~~I DO BELIEVE~~DO YOU~~

I believe in angels,
And I believe in fairies, too,
They're not one in the same, you know,
They are distinctly two.
Angels are within the heart,*
Fairies ... in the mind,*
Angels ...are always there to care,
Fairies ...are there just sometimes.
Fairies like to tease and play,
They dance and entertain,
They tickle chins and noses,
Like bubbles in champagne.

Angels are more serious,
They do heavy-duty things,
Like easing our fears and wiping our tears,
And hugging with their wings.
Angels are assigned by God,
They very rarely show,
Fairies often are seen in dreams,
And, at will, they come and go.

Fairies live in fantasies,
They are wee, petite, tiny things,
They flutter about erratically,
On dainty gossamer wings.
Angels, though, are very real,
They come in different sizes,
Large, medium, small, petite,
It's hard to recognize them.

Fairies make all people smile,
Young and old alike,
To see one in the morning dew,
Is surely a wonderously pure delight.
Angels, on the other hand,
May never fill our eyes with tears;
We're overwhelmed with gratitude,
They've watched over us for years.

When we've been saved from trouble,
It's not just a coincidence,
God's placed angels in our path,
To stand up in our defense.
Fairies offer fun and frolic,
Both to small folk and full-grown,
But when people's lives are over,
It's angels that will take them home.

God's angels *and* earth's fairies,
I think are quite essential,
They surely are related,
For both are quintessential.

~~TEACH THEM WELL~~
Some old tale's say that;
Myth or imagination ;
Are what dreams are really made of,
And if we teach our children well;
They'll also know about God above.
For God plays an important part you see;
In my life; my love; my work; and my soul;
My gift is from Him, for it's his strength I behold;
I'm only the scribe of this **TRUE LESSON**
For thee; to hold close to your heart's ;
Through the rest of our eternity..
So if you see something,
That you think really isn't there,
Perhaps you should look inside your
HEART ''AND'' SOUL
And you will see that God is everywhere.
(c)CAROL MAGUIRE,2000***

The imagination of a child
Is a wonder to behold,
And sometimes they don't grow up,
Until they're very old.
The child within our mind
Can imagine fairy sprites,
Or make a fairy tale
Out of visions of delight.
I grew up hearing stories
And tales of make believe,
My Grandma used to hold me
On her lap as she would read.
