Beautiful baby <br />Born to laugh <br />Smile and play <br /> <br />But pain <br />Swept into your world <br />Like a hurricane <br /> <br />How powerless <br />My father's soul <br />Unable to protect <br /> <br />Gladly would I <br />Have ripped out my very heart <br />To save you <br /> <br />I remember your infant eyes <br />Locked with mine <br />As they carried you away <br /> <br />But heroes came <br />With scalpels <br />And healing hands <br /> <br />Through long nights <br />Of chemical sickness <br />They cared for you <br /> <br />Prayers took root <br />And grew like wildflowers <br />Into a garden of life <br /> <br />You grew <br />And healed <br />Despite the odds <br /> <br />Then came the call <br />On Angel's wings <br />To fly you to a magic place <br /> <br />Castle doors opened for you <br />Smiles and gifts awaited you <br />In that land of wonder <br /> <br />It is a place <br />Built of dreams <br />Founded on love <br /> <br />Because of you <br />And all you overcame <br />I shared that dream with you <br /> <br />I will never forget <br />Your Princess eyes <br />Filled with delight and joy <br /> <br />How beautiful the hands <br />That give and serve <br />And build a gift so magical <br /> <br />Greeted by a whale <br />And her splashing tale <br />Dolphins feasting from your hand <br /> <br />Princesses in regal bliss <br />Stooped to bestow a royal kiss <br />And speak with hope filled words <br /> <br />Invited to dance and sing <br />To celebrate a Lion King <br />In your own joyous style <br /> <br />The magic donkey spoke <br />And shared a joke <br />That made you forever friends <br /> <br />You saw the world <br />And pyrotechnics swirled <br />To bring your magic journey to a close <br /> <br />Now we look back <br />And hold those images <br />Of magic in our hearts <br /> <br />The love and joy <br />We planted there <br />With tears of happiness <br /> <br />Will grow in time <br />In song and rhyme <br />Into a legendary tale<br /><br />Walter Elias Disney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wish-a-dream-a-magic-place/
