Catalina's Milky Way Dreams
(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams




There is something special about the Georgia hillsides on a warm summer day. The kind of beauty that cannot truly be explained, only felt deep within the soul. The sunshine stretches across the rolling countryside like golden silk, wrapping every field, tree, and winding stream in a peaceful glow. To witness it is enough to steal the breath right from your chest.

The willow trees sway side by side as if dancing together in the gentle southern breeze, while above them the bluest skies seem to go on forever. If you listen closely enough, you can hear a red robin singing its favorite morning song, proudly echoing through the quiet countryside. Somewhere nearby, a cool stream flows softly over the rocks, creating the peaceful music of nature itself.

Scattered across those grand Georgia hills stand old stately manors filled with history, charm, and southern grace that only the country backroads could ever truly understand. Flowers bloom in every color imaginable, painting the land with memories that stay with you long after the day has passed.

And if you close your eyes for just a moment, you can almost hear Ray Charles singing Georgia on My Mind somewhere in the distance, his voice blending perfectly with the sounds of the countryside.

In moments like these, you find yourself quietly thanking the Lord for allowing your eyes to witness such beauty in all its glory. The worries of life slow down. The noise of the world fades away. Time itself seems to pause beneath those southern skies.

Then comes the final piece of perfection.

Finding a comfortable place beneath a shady tree, wiping the sweat from your brow, and sitting quietly with a tall glass of Sweet Georgia Tea resting in your hands. At that very moment, a smile slowly crosses your face as peace settles into your heart.

And you realize something simple and true.

It just does not get any better than this.
