Ouch!
********


The brush with the nasty thorn
Just stuck me
The bee with the nasty buzz
Just sung me
The cat with the nasty claws
Just scratched me
The dog with the nasty bark
Just bit me
My sister who's a nasty girl
Just hit me
Now I'am so banded up
You can't see me.


A Little Bit Scary
***************

Monsters are not scary.
Well, maybe just a bit
But if you look them in the eye
They shrink a little bit.

Goblins cannot harm you.
Well, maybe just a bit
So bite them hard and run away
Before it's you that's bit.

Ghosts, they are not real.
Well, maybe just a little bit
Of all the things around us
We know such a little bit.

The poem should not scare you.
Well, maybe just a little bit.

And I knew she was sad And that I had been bad. So I climbed in her lap And kissed her cheek And hugged her tight With all my might And said “Yes” with my Cheeky little grin.  Refections       .................

A Father's Lullaby ***************** Slipping gently into dreams The infant sleep on his father's chest And matching movements of their eyes See a group of mourners gathered. As dirt seals in the fathers grave 'neath a weeping willow in a shady glen And now the child is a man holding infant son With a wreath and teardrop marks the site As he sadly thinks of this very dream He had to the sound of his fathers heart. Their black grab blows in the sun-kissed breeze As they turn their backs on the silent tomb And their tears fall from a lesser height As the weight of sorrow bows their heads. The gone and the living merge in thoughts Each through their piece of chosen time All Parts of a life that now grows cold And the man - both a child and a father- hears The voice of ages softly speak With the love and the sound of his father's heart. On day grieving y...
