Mad As A Hatter

Mad As A Hatter by Michael Romani Some people spend a lifetime Without ever really visiting the world I think this to be very nearly a crime And raise against this with flag unfurled Ready to do the impossible before breakfast And determined to strive for things that will last A blue morpho flitters and flutters by Beckoning me to come and follow As I do in my best sort of a reply On and on with this magic show Determined to reach substance in ferocity I will always follow my curiosity All becomes clear with the fullness of time Marching steps through many a varied clime The question raises above the clatter How to fight off darkness with smiles and laughter Things like this can certainly change the self Even if only visited through books on a shelf A daughter raises her Cheshire smile I've held her hand through many a mile And while she dreams of the future, I dream each night Only hoping for my chance to make her world right While she smiles up at me, I hold her tight Only hoping to fight off the darkness with her light (c) December 29, 2017 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
