When all the world is dark
and Amy's in her bed
What are the thoughts that travel
into her little head?
When I see her in the day
with that smile upon her face
I still can feel there's hope
for all the human race
When she goes to sleep at night
where does Amy go?
She flies across the universe
causing all the stars to glow;
Skips among the planets
and swims in the Milky Way,
Says hallo to Jupiter
and asks Pluto out to play.
She catches a comet by the tail
and whizzes through the sky
Lighting up the Cosmos
and never asking 'why?'
For innocence has answers
that we can't comprehend,
it always sees beginnings
while we look towards the end.
So fly, Amy, fly,
on your wings of childhood dreams
You can conquer sky
and swim in stardust streams
You are so close to God
and Angels are your friends
So always see beginnings
and never mind the ends.
I wrote this poem a long time ago when my friend's daughter AMY was still a child. Now she has a child of her own, Max!
