Mile by mile

They say: Don't get bigger than your boots,
But, you know, the boots I bought are big enough.
And with life's undulating course on and on,
I am sometimes in a wave, sometimes in a trough.
Dream, dream, dream, I say, Children!
Dream and live to make your dreams come true,
With love abounding, friendship and Golden
Dreams, dream and walk towards your childhood.
Even when you grow up, I hope, the child in you
Will stay alive. So dream and say I do,
Of a world better than all time,
Dream of songs, of poetry, stories and rhyme,
Dream of the marvels of the animal mind.
Dream, And then when you fit in your shoes,
Walk this beautiful earth: mile by mile.
