Walt Disney Poems

[Bill_Lin]

This is a serious poem I wrote after our daughter's Wish Trip to Disney World. She has cancer, but has been free of new tumors for 4 years now.

A WISH, A DREAM, A MAGIC PLACE

Beautiful baby
Born to laugh
Smile and play


But pain
Swept into your world
Like a hurricane


How powerless
My father's soul
Unable to protect


Gladly would I
Have ripped out my very heart
To save you


I remember your infant eyes
Locked with mine
As they carried you away


But heroes came
With scalpels
And healing hands


Through long nights
Of chemical sickness
They cared for you


Prayers took root
And grew like wildflowers
Into a garden of life


You grew
And healed
Despite the odds


Then came the call
On Angel's wings
To fly you to a magic place


Castle doors opened for you
Smiles and gifts awaited you
In that land of wonder


It is a place
Built of dreams
Founded on love


Because of you
And all you overcame
I shared that dream with you


I will never forget
Your Princess eyes
Filled with delight and joy


How beautiful the hands
That give and serve
And build a gift so magical


Greeted by a whale
And her splashing tale
Dolphins feasting from your hand


Princesses in regal bliss
Stooped to bestow a royal kiss
And speak with hope filled words


Invited to dance and sing
To celebrate a Lion King
In your own joyous style


The magic donkey spoke
And shared a joke
That made you forever friends


You saw the world
And pyrotechnics swirled
To bring your magic journey to a close


Now we look back
And hold those images
Of magic in our hearts


The love and joy
We planted there
With tears of happiness


Will grow in time
In song and rhyme
Into a legendary tale

REQUISITIONS


We have bags
We have crocs
We have games
In a box

We have shorts
And sunscreen
And Disney
Kid's Magazine

We have shirts
We have maps
We have times
Planned for naps

And have checked
Google earth
Have certificates
Of birth

We have our
State's I.D.
Know the places
to P

Have been
On DISboards
And know where
To buy swords

Still I am afraid
Our trip might turn rotten
If the tiniest thing
Is somehow forgotten

A MAGIC KINGDOM


I don't know if you'll believe
I met a Princess today
And was greeted in her castle
In a most royal way


Yes I met a real Princess
Who stooped to welcome me
And inside her royal castle
I met another three


There were towers that had banners
Stained glass windows in the wall
And the sparkling lights of magic
In the royal banquet hall


A fairy flew from somewhere
And she waved her magic wand
Then she blessed me with a smile
That became our special bond


My greatest wish was granted
And a star thats only mine
In that land of deep enchantment
Where the brightest wonders shine


I became a royal princess
At that magic coronation
And was gifted with enchantment
In a regal celebration


For a princess is a princess
When she is one in her heart
When becoming a true princess
Inner beauty's where you start


I can take you to my castle
In a land of mystery
If you have the childlike virtue
Of believing what you see


If you know that there is wonder
And perceive the majesty
Of a child's imagination
It will set your spirit free


Whisk away then to that place
Where, as a child, I flew
There all your dreams are living
And wishes all come true
