Created with a little help from Mummy & Daddy
Your Child
In the corner of the room there lived a chair,
it was plain and old with no pattern nor flair.
But Your Child knew it was a magical chair,
you could think of a place and it would take you there.
He sat on the cushion and closed his eyes,
and prepared himself for a wondrous surprise.
He imagined the places
Your Child gazed around the ocean bed,
A shoal of fish swam over his head.

He saw an old ship that sank long ago,
And a treasure chest with jewels aglow.

An enormous big wheel that seemed to touch the sky,
A hook-a-duck stall and a coconut shy.

He had long bristly whiskers and eyes black as coal.

and right next to Your Child sat a fluffy Arctic hare.

Your Child and the chair floated amongst the stars,
He could see many planets – Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.

He felt like he was a real astronaut,
"I am glad I have this special helmet," he thought.

And planet Earth shone with its deep blue seas.

Your Child and the chair settled back on the floor,
he opened his eyes and smiled at what he saw.
Fantastic toys from the places he'd been,
The tiger cub, the whale, and the alien so green.
Your Child will always remember the landscapes he saw,
And now he was eager to see so much more.
He will always cherish that old magic chair,
Maybe tomorrow he'll visit new places...
Dear Joseph,
