Believing in Magic

I wish I could teach you
just how to believe in magic
in the wonders all around you
that all happen as we speak

It is hard to explain
how to trust in serendipity
the letting go and believing
in things not quite yet reality

When you begin to understand
that coincidences are not imagination
nor just simply happenstance
but the Universe in pure fluid motion

That dreams have their place first
in fields of hope and trusting
that all you can imagine
is entirely yours for the taking

Trust in the process
in the value that is you
believe that all you are asking for
is well and truly meant for you.

There’s magic in every day
That no one tells you of
Secret stores of kindness
Of tolerance and of love

There’s magic in every day
That seems hidden all away
But it really is all out there
Just waiting for us to choose

There’s a magic in every day
In sight for all to see
To focus on and share
The joys in every way

Magic that we wish would happen
The castles in the air
The wondrous journey of adventures
Instant gratification everywhere

Is not quite the magic
The world presents at large

For what little do we know
Of things that we truly need.
They well and truly aren’t
The things we thought we did

There’s magic in every day
Of which I’ll tell you now
That toothless baby’s grin
And wondrous laughter’s din

There’s magic in every day
I’ll whisper in your ear
Of furry friends and plumes
And gorgeous nature’s blooms

There’s magic in every day
You will find it, if you look
For all the moments of kindness
Of tolerance and love too.
