What if?

This is a lovely poem by Coleridge about the world & the imagination.

Mind you, you have to be a bit careful introducing it to a child - some are scared by it, scared to go to sleep

What If

What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed

And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower

And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in your hand
Ah, what then?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
