Silver Screen
As a child I would always dream
of things that weren't quite real
like spaceships and goblins and time machines
and images that could only be seen
through the magic of that silver screen.
As I grew older I still could dream
and I traveled with my mind
to Casablanca and the Land of Oz
the places I had never been
through the gateway of that silver screen.
Now I watch the children dream
their eyes wide with awe
of princes and heroes and dragons
and magical kingdoms so serene
through the wonder of that silver screen
When my years are at an end
and my dreams are in the past
of adventure and danger and intrigue
let me relive them all as they once seemed
through the power of that silver screen
