Lying on grass so soft and thick,
It feels like expensive carpet.
Clouds in the sky,
Making fantastic shapes.
These are scenes from my mind.
Staring up into the night sky,
Wondering if there's life out there.
Listening to birds sing,
Their beautiful songs.
These things are scenes from my mind.
Dreaming of wonderful things,
I can do for my grandchildren.
Watching old movies,
And crying like a babe.
These are scenes from my mind.
Waiting for something extra,
To come my way.
Perfect lines of a silk cloth,
With pretty lace to be sewn on.
These are scenes from my mind.
Books to be read,
While lying in bed.
Imagining great things,
In store for my children.
These are scenes from my mind.
None of which are in order,
Nor does that matter all that much.
What's most important you see,
Is that I'm happy just to be me.
I could add a lot more,
But there's still time.
What matters most to me,
Is that those are scenes
From MY mind.
