“If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer…
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!”
- Invitation by Shel Silverstein
This is Kaitlynn’s tattoo:
Tags: Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk EndsI got it in memory of all of my grandparents who have passed away, mainly for my mom’s mom, who loved Shel Silverstein’s work and collected his books – “Invitation” was one of her favorite poems.

I love this. so simple, so perfect.
This is the best fucking tattoo I have ever seen in my life!!!!!!!! LOL
Dangit! I’ve been planning to get this same tattoo! Now I guess I’ll have to find another way to honor the poem. *sigh*
LOVE the ink, though. :)
I have this poem posted on my wall, just to remind me that I am, in fact, all those things. Especially the magic-bean-buyer :)
Awesome tattoo!!

Simply wonderful!
I love this tattoo-its so simple yet so perfect. It captures Shel Silverstien wonderfully. I bet it looks even better in person!
[...] on, some message they wish to convey. Often peoples’ tattoos are about traumatic events, the loss of a loved one or lifelong [...]
this is beautiful, a lovely memorial.
Oh man, I’d never heard of Shel Silverstein until the last few weeks, and now he keeps popping up everywhere! What a beautiful beautiful poem…and an awesome tattoo.
