imagination

over the course of the morning

i   snuggled one grandson while he drank his milk 

and played  pretend downstairs

imagining all kinds of things

building a mini mall

going to the zoo

talking with a lion

making coffee

doing construction work

laughing

talking

following

pretending

and all the time marvelling

at imagination that is  within this grandchild of mine

and wondering

when do we as adults

loose that sense of wonder

that sense of imagination

or is it just there

waiting to come out

at the first chance

imagining

what if

imagining when

imagining where

imagining who

imagination

somehow

that  couple hours spent

in wonder and imagination

made me feel  relaxed

and renewed

but then again

perhaps it was just sitting and cuddling and hugging

and talking and playing and imagining

with my grand babies

who show me that life

is

very

very

precious

and each moment

valuable

and 

not

to

be 

missed!

ahhhh.....

thankful for this day's lesson

who would have thought

that this old granny could  learn something from someone so little!!
