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 :)
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.

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."

Nothing like a little dreaming to ring in the new year...
January 10, 2013 at 1:17 PM
I agree with Dana. That is such an excellent line, Gail. I think your poem is "'fridge-worthy."
January 10, 2013 at 1:43 PM
That peeler is very popular at our house, and so is keeping dreams alive!

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.

Nicely written and presented! I was especially struck by the last line of the poem; no dream is too big!!!
