Puff the Magic Dragon

I had a reoccurring dream once when I was about the age of 6 or 7.  I would tell me parents the next morning of breakfast of my dreams and how they related to a character I had heard my parents, as well as my other family members of a ["Puff the Magic Dragon who Lived by the Sea"].  This is a well known camp fire song from literature and oddly enough my family liked to sing it at night around a campfire to all of the children. 

Something from this song made me feel at the time that Puff could just be that friend I needed to console in because sure enough for about a half of a year my parents attest to my nightly talks with Puff.  What they don't remember and what I do; is that Puff and I would meet in a black inner tube big enough for the both of us.  Not to mention that he was quite a large green dragon I could sit right beside him and talk with a lot of room in our inner tube.

Our talk were nice I reflected on my day with him I do remember that much not what about though.  And sometimes we would just sit and not talk and it was quite nice and a peaceful dream.

The dreams did stop.  But they are definitely a nice little nostalgic memory of a place I may visit again in many years to come if not at all. 

Which will be quite alright and will remain my keepsake of a childhood dream. *
