What would you bottle for a future generation if you could bottle anything?
Would you bottle an emotion like joy, love, gratitude, or humility? Maybe the smell of a new born child, or the intoxicating smell of sweet-grass? Perhaps set of family values or a memory of times past?
If I could bottle my hopes and dreams for mankind.
I would remind them all there once was a time,
when importance was placed on a simpler way.
With gadgets switched off, kids were sent to play.
The big wide world is meant to explore.
Just leave your house you don’t have to be bored.
Be the king of hill or the one who is IT.
Play outside until the night makes you quit.
At the end of your day as you prepare for slumber,
you’ll think of the things you can make if there’s lumber.
Like a tree house, fort or maybe a boat.
The places you go, no matter how remote.

Beautiful image! And an excellent poem.
Thanks for visiting my blog, Love your story, you tagged some stuff and your school made you take art classes! Sensible people in charge at that school.
Yeah!
Great post ~ words and image!
If I could bottle anything for myself it would be energy.
If I could bottle anything and give it to my child it would be empathy.
That’s fantastic
love it!!

Thank you! you have fantastic poetry.
cool image…and wonderful introduction to your blog and writing. Thanks for the visit to lightwriters (5wise.wordpress.com). I’ll be back!!
Thank you I love your images and poetry
This just made my Friday, thank you
Sweet poem, dude!
I think I’d bottle pure, unmitigated True Love. Because… ‘All you need is Love, Love. Love is all you need.’ If we could just get everyone to fall in Love with each other everything else would fall into place…
That or a REALLY great Prime Directive like from Star Trek that the WHOLE Universe willingly and successfully adhered, too. So, yeah, maybe I’d just bottle some episodes of Star Trek. 😊 lol
I dunno? Good question?
I absolutely love this image and the text just made my day! Nice work.
Powerful image… really beautiful picture, with a profound message. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for the nod to my blog,Thisisyourrealmotherspeaking. I really appreciate that. I’m not sure what to do with it, yet. I don’t know that many (15?) other bloggers/blogs very well, maybe only a handful! But now that my kids are in school and I’ll have more time, I’ll be checking out more of them. Thanks again.
Beautiful! Both the poem and the photo. I suspect the photo will be in my head for quite a while.
Reblogged this on Serendipity and commented:
Oh, and thanks for the reminder about what’s really important in life, f-Stop Fun.
This post just inspired me so much! I only just found this blog today and I must say it’s quite beautiful. You would do yourself a favor to go over and visit.
Great post and powerful message!
Absolutely love this picture! Thank you for following my blog!
I love it!!
Thank you
Good poem and picture. I would probably say my echoing words to my kids of “Treat others like you wanted to be treated,” but since life is so short, let me quote the words of Bill and Ted – “Be excellent to one another and party on dude.” Thanks for following my blog.
Awesome! Bill and Ted rock!
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
Thanks! your blog is awesome! your cat makes me think of my cat growing up. I was similar in color. Yours looks more zany!
Well, Zany and Zoey both start with a Z and end with a Y……..lol
LOVE this poem. I couldn’t agree more…simplicity has been lost somewhere along the way and it’s really sad. I’m brand new to the blogosphere and really appreciate you stopping by to check out my start. Thanks!
