I have a secret weapon
I wouldn't sell at any price
For to go through life without it
Would not be very nice!!

It lightens all my burdens
Makes cares just float away
I've been known to take it everywhere
At any time of day...

It never fails to make me smile
And sometimes laugh out loud
I use it very skillfully
And my talent makes me proud

It allows unlimited travel
I've made extraordinary friends
No one should be without it
For it's value has no end

It's sparked some great inventions
Triggered things like hope and joy
Builds character and attitudes
That adversity can't destroy

It has no boundaries or limits
At least none have yet been found
Dreams take wing and spirits soar
Far, far above the ground

It's not something you can purchase
Or pick up in any store
We each have one, though some of us
Never learn just what it's for

To children it comes naturally
They have loads and tons to spare
So if your supply is running low
Most kids will gladly share...

Because it cannot be depleted
It's not something you can lose
Although it may get rusty
If it just lays around, unused

It should be a daily habit
Like excercise....or prayer
After all,  it is a gift from God
To show how much He cares

So dust yours off and let it shine
For all the world to see
Then get ready for adventure
You could even come with me!

But when or where is up to you
The itinerary is your creation
You already have your passport
It's called IMAGINATION...

Daydreams, or flights of fancy
Even castles in the sky...
Is doesn't matter what you call it
Just don't EVER let it die!
