Blue Caboose Train of Thought

This little kid is the best of me Seems as if sometimes was raising me Before he was winged was reading peeps By age 2-3 he was cop blocking Named him Tahj his life has a plan He has the heart of a renaissance man He’s methodical quite particular and Middle name Micah like a prophet he’s grand As a single mom I did not play I was mean, I was kind, I was cray cray Yet so divine is the power of love He grew up fine despite times he stays up The book of Micah is a reader for life sir It’s a train of thought blue caboose Took him to Carrowinds for a fun day He looked at the coaster said “It don’t look safe” Not many kids would think that way So water log, bumper cars, arcade in the shade. 20 years later lupus gave me dilemma Could barely walk lupus sucks I remember Feeling weak, wrong for being indigo ill But my number 1 son held it down with chill The book of Micah is a reader for life sir. It’s a train of thought blue caboose.

Yes. The "A Mask for Halloween" story was written to help my daughter understand Native American thinking (in 4's rather than 3's) and today's "State Hood" was to help her memorize state capitols . . . . .
