Tall Funny Hats

A child from the start
     knows love in his heart,

     knows kindness and pain,
     knows puddles and rain

     loves puppies and cats
     and tall funny hats,

     is bashful and shy
     but knows when to cry.

     To grow and be true
     in all that we do,
    
     needs help from above
     and mothers sweet love.

     All things are earned
     from lessons we've learned,

     be mindful of that
     when you don funny hats.

I've only been a hat wearer for a couple of years – to keep the wind from blowing what's left of my hair! BTW I was unable to respond to your many stops at my address because of a computer problem which has finally resolved itself. Many thanks for your kind words. / M
