How To Make a Man

HOW TO MAKE A MAN Take a little bit of sugar, and a little bit of spice, A double hand of impishness, And a bucket of love, times thrice. Mix it all together, Add curiosity, And a little bit of stubborn, Mixed with propensity, To fudge a little now and then, When asked what he's about, And look up with angelic face, Whenever he's found out. Wrap him up and cuddle him, And keep him safe and warm, Until he rises up full grown, To stand life's calms and storms. Teach him to be humble, Teach him to be brave, And most important of it all, Teach him how to pray. Judy Ball "BUT JESUS SAID,'SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO COME UNTO ME AND DO NOT HINDER THEM, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE." Matthew 19:14

how true, such a wonderful write, well written. thank you for commenting on Rain Finally came, since i wrote that, we had a dry spell for a while, then since July 7, my birthday, it has rained everyday, and i mean rained, poured. on July 7 we had 3 inches a record for that date, maybe i need to write a poem, the rains went away.
