What you Want to Be...
******************

 
What do you want to be when you grow up.

Miss Lucy groosey jangles
Fancy bracelets on her hands,
Master Norbert's parents put
Suspenders on his pants,
Little Tommy swaggers by
Dressed in his sailor suit
Bossy Betsy clicks her heel
In pointed leather boots,
Well dressed Willie always wear
His matching socks and shirts,
Brave Diana paint her face
With streaks of sweat and dirt,
Long tall Tammy only eats
Salad, fruits and seeds,
Egghead Eric's brains are filled
With all books he reads.

One day they will all grow up
And travel very far,
It's funny how as children
They know exactly who they are.

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       .................

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.

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...
