I want to give you a million feathers to keep you

warm and snug on a cold, starry night.

I am giving you the North Star to guide you and your heart.

Here is a horse to ride away from danger.

I want to give you the first star so you could

wish your troubles away.

I am sending you a somersault

to tumble out of the rough times in life.

I am giving you the sunset so you can ride to

the other side of the world for a day

and the wind of the ocean waves to cool you.

Here is the moon to light up your dark nights.

I will send you a mountain stream

to slurp the cool spring water.

I want to give you a pile of laughter

when everything is so serious.

I am sending you a pillow for you to have sweet

dreams on and float across the blue sky.

I want to give you a magic pencil

that will draw a smile on your face and

make anything you wish come real.

Here is a compass to guide you to safety.

I will give you a shooting star so you

can lift up into space and see the earth

from a bird’s eye view.

I am sending you a meadow of soft, silky, wonderful

imagination and a piece of paper

in the shape of a heart

to tell you that people still care.
