"Robin Hood" (c) 1984, 1987, T.J. Burnside-Clapp. Source:

Children always seem to have

A sparkle in their eyes

That no grown-up ever has

Did you ever wonder why?

They can turn a backyard garden

Into twelfth-century England

You're Robin Hood, I'm Marion,

Let's fall in love!

And you'll save me with your arrow,

And I'll always be your maiden

We'll live happily forever after.

But no grown-up could ever see

How real it is to them,

And none would admit that he

Could remember when

He would turn an oak branch into

A rocket ship to Mars

That could sail to just about anyplace

We'd take off from a launching pad

Just you and I

And we'd sail off into outer space.

But when children grow up

They lose their fantasies

Grown-ups don't do things like that

They call it "make-believe."

Things like that just don't exist

A dream, a thought, a song,

But if they think it's make-believe,

That's where they are wrong!

They'll never understand just how the children feel

To a grown-up it is make-believe,

To the children it is real.

To turn a twentieth-century backyard

Into twelfth-century England

You're Robin Hood, I'm Marion,

Let's fall in love!

And you'll save me with your arrow,

And I'll always be your maiden

They'll never see how we feel

To the children it is real.

"Go Traveller"

Go, Traveller

As you take wing,

My heart remembers

Dreaming of the stars.

Within my soul once lived

Whole worlds of strange

And living things

And stars that lit the

Fires of hope.

O tomorrow,

Carry life into my dreams

Safely bring this

Traveller home

To distant stars and worlds.

In life we die;

In dreams we fly;

In flight we grow;

To learn, we go.
