The Magnificent, Magical, Never Ending Adventures of Moo and me: Dragonfly

The Magnificent, Magical, Never Ending Adventures of Moo and me: Dragonfly
Moo and me were hanging around
Looking for something to do

I wiggled my toes and stretched a bit
"I'm out of idea's how about you?"

Moo thought a bit and licked his lips
Saying"How bout we do something special?"

I put up my hands saying"what do you mean?"
Moo sat with his legs like a pretzel

"Sometimes we can't travel the way we want
When we're tired and our legs don't work"

"Well I tried this once and its pretty cool
If I tell you... don't think I'm a jerk"

"You see the mind is a powerful thing
And we only use a small part"

"Just close your eyes and think real hard
Try using your brain and your heart"

"I don't get it Moo what do you mean?
You said something Special to me?"

"Hold on now Jack you'll find out soon
Follow me and listen... then you'll see"

Moo said to think hard of something we know
Or someone we'd like to meet

I thought of someone, or thing if you will
She had four wings and six feet

I told Moo he should see her too
He said"I will....OK...here goes"

And soon he said,"I see her Jack!"
"She's got a tail and a cute little nose"

"That's her! That's her! You see her too"
"MMoooo, she's cute! What is her name?"

Without moving my lips I thought a question
She answered my thoughts just the same

Everything was still as I heard, "Dragonfly Tut"
And I almost fell out of my chair

But how can that be, I didn't say a word
Are my thoughts more than thin air?

She tells me secrets of how to have fun
And help others without leaving my place

"You see", she says, "your thoughts have power
It goes beyond time and space"

If someones lonely or just needs a hug
You don't have to go very far"

"Just picture them in your mind's eye
You can see them without  even a car"

Think of me and my magical wings
Any thing's possible, you know what I mean?"

I thought of the lines of a dragonfly's wings
Especially the bright green ones I'd seen"

So now that I have this magical tool
I can visit without leaving my bed

All I have to do is think real hard
Using my heart and my head

I thanked Tut and had one question more
She answered and I smiled and waved

Moo and I said our good byes
Knowing, that's a memory to be saved

That night I laid in my bed awake
Thinking of all I could do

I stayed real quiet not wanting to wake
The sleeping, soft snoring Moo

So I used my brain and my heart
Thinking with all of my might

As soon as it came, I knew what to do
Then sleep took over the night

The next morning I asked Moo how he slept
"Heavenly" is what he said

"Did anything special happen in your dreams?"
He thought and then his smile spread

"I felt your hug and heard you laugh
I felt comfort and so much Love"

"It worked!", I said, "Dragonfly Tut was right!"
"She said to think and ask God Above"

"Anything good you feel deep in your heart
Will shine Light into another's soul"

"I wanted you to know how much you are Loved
That was my head and heart's goal"

The Magnificent, Magical, Never Ending Adventures of Moo and Me

Written for a young man and his amazing family at Camp Jack (and Kate).

The Magnificent,  Magical, 
Never Ending Adventures of Moo and Me

I love where I am and all that I’ve met

But sometimes I yearn for more

There are many places that I've never been

I just want to go explore

I think tonight I'll give it a try

And take along co-pilot Moo

We'll fly together while in my dreams

'Cuz that's what best friends do

Flying into the night with Moo at my side

Our first stop is Mr. Moon

I say he's cheese but Moo says he's not

We'll both find out real soon

A few minutes more and we're over  the moon

Seeing a crater, we  land in its dust

Moo was right the moon is not cheese

  But it's flour on a pizza crust

We nibble a bit and then have to leave

It's time to go on our way

"Moo it's your turn to choose where we go

And it looks like you want to play"

So off we go passing twinkling stars

Waving at them as we fly

I see ahead where Moo wants to go

"Not the milky way", I say with a sigh

Moo smiles at me and waves his tail

As if he's got a plan up his sleeve

We fly really close and I'm amazed to see

White, chocolate, strawberry... I can't  Believe!

We swoop down close but he doesn't stop

It's up and onward we go

I quick lean over  and slurp a taste

Hmm, Milky way's milk, how could I know

He winks at me and moos a laugh

Snorting milk out of his nose

I giggle and laugh as he's on a roll

Curling his tail he makes a pig pose

"Where are we going?" , I ask to my friend
"  You'll see, just hang on to my back"

Traveling far we finally reach a place

Moo calls this Nebula Jack

"Wow!", I say, ""  is it named after me?"

Moo laughs and says ""  but of course"

"  Can we stay awhile and play a bit?"

"  Hey,... what?... Wait?... is that a horse?"

Riding up close comes a magnificent foal

Her mother is close behind

They stop and stare right into our eyes

Asking, if we're horses, what kind?

I laugh so hard I start falling off Moo

The foal comes up by my side

She looks at me and smiles a bit, saying

"  Hey do you want to ride?"

I slide off Moo and onto her back

And off exploring we go

It's over gas clouds and nebula bands

"  Watch out a comet! Duck low!"

We play for a while this foal and me

Until Moo and Mommy say  "" it's time"

So off I slide and give a great hug

And back onto Moo I climb

With tears in our eyes we say our goodbyes

asking "   Will I see you again?"

 ""We live so far beyond many stars

I'll call you, do you have a pen"

Exchanging numbers and telling stories

We find we share many views

I look and take notice of something peculiar

Foal changes colors and hues

Moo and Mommy keep trying to move us along

And I ask foal "What is your name?"

"Oh", she smiled, "how could I forget.

It's Kate. And I'm glad you came"

"I have surprise, it's a secret you know

I'm never that far away

I'll be in your heart and in your dreams

It's Love's magic some might say"

Mommy smiles at me and Moo winks too
And I whisper right back in Kate's ear
""If you miss me too just look around and see
in colors and rainbows; I'm near"

We wave good bye saying "see you again"

Each flying in our own way

We smile with Hope as we know the Truth

We'll see each other again some day

Written for all those with and at Camp Jack (and Kate)
