Premium Member Little Sister

Growing up so sad
Somehow I never saw it
It wasn’t that I didn’t care
I just didn’t really notice
I didn’t know better
Too caught up
In my own little drama
Trying to survive
In my own little bubble

It would have taken so little
A hug now and then
A kind word or a smile
Huddled on a cold winter night
Reading you bedtime stories

There are no second chances
Just regrets for what should have been
Useless apologies excessively late
Futile to try and heal old bruises
Wish I could do it all again
Erase the years gone by
I would treasure with every fiber of my heart
The little darling that you were
The perfect little soul that you’ve always been

Premium Member Sister Smythe's Nativity Pageant

It was approved by the Session and duly recorded by the Clerk
That the youth would perform the Nativity Play at the Presbyterian Kirk.
'Twas further resolved that Sister Smythe, who had a proclivity
For curious creativity, would again manage this annual activity!

Venerable Sister Smythe had staged the event since time immemorial,
But, alas, could be quite testy and at times rather dictatorial!
Generations of kids had acted in this solemn yearly affair.
Now their kids suffered beneath her stern, withering glare!

Stage-struck moms maneuvered above and around each other,
Boosting their little darling for the role of The Holy Mother!
Sister Smythe made her selection after a grilling examination.
Alas, the little lass forgot her lines to Sister Smythe's consternation!

The lad playing Joseph was found asleep and missed his cue.
Two of the Wise Men tripped and sprawled, spoiling their debut!
Kids dressed as sheep sounded like braying mules from sounds they did emit.
This caused the harried Sister Smythe another thundering snit!

Poor Sister Smythe lay abed a couple of weeks to recover,
As solicitous Session members around her did pray and hover.
Despite the vexations, she'll rule again next year - she'll survive,
To shepherd other kids to make the Christmas Story come alive!

Premium Member My Life As a Pomeranian

Hi, my name is Precious,
And most folk do agree,
That my name is a perfect fit,
For little 'ol sweetheart me.

I'm a toy Pomeranian,
And I was bred to lie on laps,
Which happens to be the very place,
I love to take my naps.

I must confess, I am a beauty,
With my fluffy, golden hair.
My liquid chocolate eyes are bright,
With the intelligence I bear.

I am fed the most delicious treats,
I'm pampered and adored.
Some folk think that I'm too spoiled,
But their opinions I ignore.

My purpose in life is two-fold:
To look adorable and be a friend.
It's my joy and delight to fulfill each one,
And I'll do so 'til the end.

I want to thank my mistress,
For making me the dog I am today:
A beautiful, adored little darling,
I'm Precious! What more can I say?

Premium Member Children's Happy Hour

Let us paint this world of fun. 
Pink,mauve and baby blue... 
Let us change the world goes round. 

Too many burdens I let you witness. 
A broken soul I let you embrace. 
I am sorry if I let you suffer. 
The pain of seeing me in despair. 

This time, honey let me show you the love. 
the happiness it brings,how it tickles your heart. 
Let us go to park and celebrate this life. 
Life that's full of reasons to laugh about. 

Smile little darling, I will stay by your side. 
I will be your superhero and never let you be harmed. 
In my heart I only treasure the love that never fades. 
I dedicate even my last breath to keep you happy and safe.

My Princess

               MY PRINCESS ANN DOMINIQUE

                   She's my firstborn child.

                She's a sweet little darling, 
                   precious and adorable.

                      When she smiles,
     She keeps her mum's heart drifting by.

      Whilst she listened to her mum's real 
                classic humming lullabies.
         
                   How time flies so fast,
   As Mum's little princess is now a young lady.

         She's attractive, smart, motivated,
                      and determined. 
               She's focused and friendly.

  She's an ambitious lady who keeps on reaching
             Higher for her dream company.

  She loves to wear casual mini shorts and t-shirts
       And hates vanity as she's simply trendy.
                       
      She's a business lady with such integrity.

   She has a big heart with an authentic intention
                  for the people around her.

                          Despite this,
             She has good sales persuasion.
               The comments we heard were
                   highly complimentary.
        
                           Above all,
        Her priorities in life are Jesus and family.

Parents

A woman who sacrifices when needed
A beautiful devotion deeply seeded

A man bone weary rises to work again
A strong dedication on which one can depend

A woman all night lovingly cradles a sickly child
An amazing touch so frazzled yet still mild

A man exhausted and starving takes the time to stop and hug his little darling.

A woman back twisted and aching continues on with the supper shes making.

A man, his day hard and long patiently stops to show his son where he went wrong

A unconditional loving beauty through and through
A fortress, the strongest a family ever knew

A mother our precious gift from above
A father full of strength, understanding, and love.

Premium Member Smile for the Tooth Fairy

"Hush now my little darling,
Blow your nose and wipe your eyes."
"The "Tooth Fairy" comes tonight,
And he'll leave a big surprise!"

"So, dry those tears sweet Jim,
Dream of rainbows in the sky."
"And tomorrow when you wake,
A silver coin you will spy!"

Moonlight drifts through midnight dreams,
Such innocence enthralls him.
He tip-toes like a shadow,
But, what plight might befall Jim?

A single pearl rests neath pillow
The evidence gaps young smile.
"Let's peek in my bag of tricks,"
His methods are somewhat vile!

"But, what's this...only "one" tooth?
"Don't dream golden, I'm not through.
"One just won't cut it for me,
But, the rest of them will do!"

"A little drop of ether,
So little Jim won't awake."
"And with all due diligence,
Your little smile I will take!"

Just like he slithered on in,
He slinks out of bedroom door.
Wearing a "Cheshire Cat" grin,
Twenty teeth lie on Jim's floor!

Parents peek into bedroom,
Twenty pearls checkers the rugs.
And right there, next to Jim's head...
Just a bag of silver slugs!

Premium Member Feathers Down

Her cheeks as soft as feathers down 
Feathers down, feathers, feathers down 
When she smile doth I'll never frown 
When she sleep, light, dimmer
 
Her weeps and cries, I'll comfort her 
Yes comfort, comfort, comfort her 
In her tiny ears, a soft whisper
In her, diaper, I'll try
 
Hush little darling do not cry 
Do not cry, do not, do not cry 
Papa's going to dry your eye 
Papa's lullaby, sleep
 
Soon enough she falls asleep 
She falls, she falls, she falls asleep 
She sleeps soundless without a peep 
She sleeps, myself I crown
 
Her cheeks as soft as feathers down 
Sleeping soft, myself I crown

Premium Member Best Babysitter You Will Ever Have

Rainbow girl! They told the young harried couple of a new born babe
She’s the best babysitter we have ever hired, down here in the shade.
If you have a mess, she will clean it up while your baby sleeps soundly.
Wait until you have her, her talents will completely astound thee.

Rainbow girl grabbed their baby out of their arms and said
Go have some fun, while I put this little darling to bed
They did not have time to tell her about the colic, she treated them mean
But when they returned their baby was asleep, and their house was clean

Let’s have her every night, the tired mother said to the dad
Sounds good to me, he said, ready to have more fun than the pad
Rainbow girl was booked up years in advance, maybe twenty-two
The fact they had gotten her to come at all was a bit of a coup

Premium Member what happened

A kindergarten student is not usually sent to my office.
I am the counselor, who gets my shares of stirrers.
Usually when a five-year-old is sent to me, they are crying.
This little blonde blue-eyed beauty was not crying.

She had a smug look on her face, actually not a tear in sight.
Find out what happened, the principal said, before she left.
What happened? I asked the dainty cherub.
When?

I am not sure “just now?”
Nothing.
I have to call the teacher to get an inkling.
She was fighting.
You mean arguing?
No I mean flat out fist walloping pummeling fighting.

I look for scratches or bruises but see no evidence.
Were you in a fight?
She nods her head.
I smashed them and bashed him, she told me.
She had a pleased smile.

I am surprised, but not stunned.
I have raised three daughters.
Two of them are tough.
She brags about her fighting prowess.
I find out later this little darling has four older brothers.
