Dont’ Take Away the Magic

September 26th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson
  • When the full moon smiles down on me,
  • Don’t tell me it’s just a bunch of craters on a lifeless clump of dust.
  • Let me have the man in the moon.
  • Don’t take away the magic.
  • When fireflies zig and zag through the night
  • Don’t tell me they are just phosphorescent insects.
  • Let me have the stardust.
  • Don’t take away the magic.
  • When the rainbow stretches gloriously across the storm ravaged sky
  • Don’t tell me its colors come from sunlight refracted through moisture
  • Let me have the bluebird on the other side
  • Don’t take away the magic.
  • I know that it’s right to be practical
  • But you know it isn’t always practical to be right.
  • Let me have the whimsy.
  • Don’t take away the magic.
