If

A recent trip to Disneyland inspired me to write this.

If life was like Disneyland...

I wouldn't ride the tea cups too often.

I would stop to watch the parades and enjoy the moment.

I would ride Space Mountain over and over because I love to

laugh and just need more reasons to do it.

I would go on Pirates at least three times a day because it gives

me a chance to dream.

I would make sure to go on Haunted Mansion at least once a day

because it teaches me there is a lighter side to dark times.

I would ride Dumbo often because everyone loves to fly.

I wouldn't forget to go on Small World because it reminds me

that while we're all different we're also all God's children and so,

remarkably the same.

I would ride the Matterhorn because I must remember that even

a good life has its share of Yeti's.

I would eat ice cream just because.

I would go on the Winnie the Pooh ride frequently because it's

good to feel the safety of childhood.

I would go on the Jungle Boat ride so I never forget to explore.

I would walk through Tarzan's Treehouse to feel the wind on my face.

I would walk through Toon Town once in a while to remind me I

need to be silly sometimes.

I would ride on Astro Blasters just because it's fun.

I would enjoy watching the people come and go and learn from those

who passed my way.

I would sing all the songs at the top of my voice because music is

good for the soul.

But most of all if life was like Disneyland I would never mind the

darkness of nighttime because I would learn to appreciate the things

I took for granted during the day and I would know the dawn of

another beautiful morning would be soon to follow.
