Found fools gold or so it would seem
My heart bounced with joy in what I had found
Thinking I hit the mother load as it sparkled all-around
Gold fever hit hard and it hit fast
I sifted and paned as hours passed
This is it, I am rich, I chuckle
I danced all around got wet to my belt buckle
When I strolled out in that cold water stream
Fame and fortune was not my incentive scheme
Lady luck had a hand in this wonderful dream
Oh at last I must awake from this fantasy,
Fools gold is all that it maybe
It allowed me to set my imagination free
Giving me a taste of make believe. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 54 [informant] => foxfire44 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => happypoetry )

Your poem has taken me back to when I was a tom-girl, and the excitement I felt when rummaging through soil and rock and just getting dirty and feeling free . .. .It is wonderful to be able to experience these feelings in the discoveries we can still find as adults.
A fun read! Thanks!!
