No, that's not my crochet Hook in the orange/lemon bowl but it's close.
Since today is H day at Alphabet Thursday I'm gonna call it Hiram. Hiram is a handy little fellow. We use Him to cross cut the skin of citrus fruit which makes them much easier to peel.
For Poetry Jam Sweep Out The Old Year, I talking about what I want to keep and carry into the next year.
If only I could hold on to
A child's blind belief
Not to lose my imagination
Always willing to believe.
Keeping my dreams breathing
And my imagination alive
Would be the best thing to carry
Into two thousand ninety-five.

Keep on that dreaming and imagining!
they would def bee good things to carry into the new year....being around kids often rekindles that a bit for me....
we have one of those peeler tools...
Being childlike in our dreams is the best!
Imagination and Dreams -- yes, those should be carried forward from childhood, I think. They should never be left behind.
Loved the line "Keeping my dreams breathing."
Oh my goodness! I used to use one of those peeler-thingys when I was little:))) Oh memories!
Beautiful words.
Keep the dreams alive and big!
Hi neighbor...just hopped over from Stitchin By the Lake and I enjoyed my visit. Thanks for sharing with us.
Oh - so it's a peeler? Who would have "dreamed". Love this post : )
Oh, gee, I use Hiram all the time. He is indeed a handy fellow. I call mine Betty, my Mom called hers the orange peeler and I like your name too. Nice poem - kids will do that and kids would rekindle our hearts to carry goodness with us always. LIKE :)
like your dreamin and your imagining.. as in living to 2095?
I agree - dreams and imagination def helpful in the new year!
Good post Gail. :o)
.. and away we go! Keep the dream, keep the faith!!!
Nothing like a little dreaming to ring in the new year...
I agree with Dana. That is such an excellent line, Gail. I think your poem is "'fridge-worthy."
That peeler is very popular at our house, and so is keeping dreams alive!
=)
Wow I never even heard of one of these peelers before--and I live in Orange County. I think I will look for one! And i like your poem--keep imagination and dreams alive for sure!
When I first saw the 'crochet hook'
I had to read more...
good post
Sandy
Love the orange peeler ~ I have about five of them. Dear Hubby carries one in his lunchbox all the time and has to watch that the guys at work don't steal it on him.
Absolutely, keep that dreaming and imagining :-) thank you for the smile!
Wouldn't that be wonderful... to always be a child at heart, to remain creative... and content with life.
I love your Hiram. I have several Hirams and he makes life very easy. Great poem. How to harness that childlike imagination? If only I could find a way.
Nicely written and presented! I was especially struck by the last line of the poem; no dream is too big!!!
I need to get my Grandlittle's a Hiram! They love citrus.
And your poem.
Wow.
That was really touching.
I like your thought process.
Thanks for linking.
A+
