thoughts

by Eden Brooks Bodie ...

Momma, why after I pray to God to have good dreams sometimes I still have bad dreams?

Why can I hear people walking, boom boom, every time I put my head on the pillow?

Why do I still have dreams in my mind when I am awake?


Mom, I'm dreaming something in my mind right now ...

I'm dreaming we are in school and the wizard of Oz was there. And we had to lock every door, because the witch was there -- the White Witch was there ... in the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. And, she wanted to make us into stone and we didn't want that so we ran and locked our doors.

at bedtime ...
I need to keep my dream separated.
Me: What do you mean? do you want me to be quiet?
E: Yes. You can talk about my day when the movie in my head is done.
