Lego, you have to love it.
The small boy with the wild and vivid imagination
Sits on the floor
He pulls out his box of Lego pieces
He starts his construction.
Piece after piece he joins
In his mind, the street begins to take shape.
There’s a shop, a grocery store,
The bootmaker and candlestick maker.
He has not long watched a TV program,
Medieval England, old buildings, old people,
Cobble-stone pathways
It’s all stored inside his head.
He crafts his town image
His mind a stickler for detail.
When his mum comes to see him
She too marvels at what he has done
Sits with him, asking questions.
He is full of answers, says he is sorry the image appears so dull
But they were dull times, colour was a luxury.
His mother views the pile of coloured pieces,
Seeing what her boy sees,
Feeling proud her son has a creative mind
Knowing that tomorrow he will once again
Go inside his mind
And invite her along.

I can well imagine. Thanks for stopping by.
Love, love it, Michael. My two youngest grandsons are crazy about Lego and will play with it for hours. I’m hopeless at it, but I still play with them and let them show me how to do it better – they are 5 and 8 😀
One of my grandsons has a room for his LEGO. His mother loves collecting the stuff.
LOL don’t think I’ll tell my grandson, Harry, about the LEGO room. His parents are currently building a new house. He might get ideas 😀
I do think its a tad indulgent but then this gkid is an only child.
I love how imaginative children are. They do such extraordinary things and LEGO is the best way! So many possibilities.
I love all *toys* that encourage the imagination and pry the child away from tv into pursuits more active and creative. An essential of childhood, absent today for many kids. And you describe it so well
Isadora loves Legos too I never had them growing up might have helped my spatial awareness lol
