IMAGINE by Becky Hemsley

"IMAGINE"
by Becky Hemsley

Imagine a tree that has leaves all of gold

Imagine a dragon that's pink

Imagine how small and how tiny you'd be

If one day you were able to shrink

Imagine a rainbow - but just black and white

In a sky full of marshmallow clouds

Imagine a house where the floors are the ceiling

Because it's been turned upside down

Imagine an elephant with twenty trunks

And a spider with only one leg

Imagine a cat that is walking a tightrope

And balancing plates on its head

And you are now picturing all of these things

'Cause of one brilliant part of your brain

And the best thing of all, is it doesn't run out

You can use it again and again

Because there's no limit to what you can dream

And to all of your thoughts and creations

You just need that brilliant part of your brain

That's known as your imagination

And maybe, one day, you'll imagine a story

A tale and adventure to tell

And maybe you'll write it all down in a book

So that others can imagine as well

*****

This is the poem I read when I go into primary schools to deliver workshops, to remind the children that our imaginations are limitless and that our own dreams and ideas can inspire others.
