I've worked with children all my days,
The things they say sure do amaze.
"How did the baby get in you?
Will it come out with your poo?"
"You'll need much more loo paper than me,
Your bottom is so big you see."
"Why's that man got a towel* on his head,
Has he just got out the shower?" she said.
"Granny's got a prickly chin,
When she kisses it hurts my skin."
"When I'm grown up how will I know
To talk like you." she said in woe.
In the garden she did appear,
A sanitary towel to her head adhered.
"You said they're for headaches." she said with pride.
Oh my goodness how I cried.
On a visit to the beach,
"Not that sandpit." she did beseech.
"Oh no the bridge has got a leak."
When she saw a puddle underneath.
"I banged my head." she did shout,
"All my little thoughts will come out."
Oh children, children I do decree,
That life is fun when you are three.

What world most rejoices and comforts you?
What grieves your heart and disturbs your mind most?
Does the quest for beauty bewitches you?
And yes, embraces your vanity the most?
There must be such a heaven to dwell in,
The pathway to perfect felicity,
A place of pleasure and prurient sin
Enticing a feeble heart to folly.
If you are willing to commit a fault
So you should be content to make amends
And bring this deceitful wile to a halt
Before a shadow of despair descends.
Grieve at the imperfection of the man
Quashing good judgment whenever he can!
Quote 2: "A Course in Miracles"-(You may believe that you
are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think.
The truth is that you are responsible for what you think,
because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice.
What you do comes from what you think.)

Nobody’s made me out a fool
Like three year olds in Sunday School.
One day I thought I’d sound real wise
And asked, “Who here likes butterflies?”
All hands shot quickly to the sky,
“I saw a yellow butterfly!”
“They eat the nectar from the flowers.”
These kids, I swear, had super powers!
“Bees turn nectar into honey,
The bee guy sells it for his money!”
“My cousin’s mom got stung last week!”
“But honey’s good, its really sweet!”
“Chocolate’s sweet, it causes wrecks!”
“Mama says its better than sex!”
“Six is my favorite number today!
Today’s my cousin’s sixth birthday!”
Like butterflies from flower to flower
Their comments wandered for an hour
From butterflies and honey bees
To birds and squirrels in the trees.
Then Airplanes, clouds and astronauts.
“And ants live in the parking lot!”
I’ve been to college; three degrees!
Sometimes I wish that I were three.

I’m sitting here inside my daddy’s car.
I sure hope that the ocean is not far.
My mom and dad are making such a fuss.
Maybe cause there’s someone new with us.
It’s someone on my Daddy’s side who came
to see us. Dang it! I forgot her name!
I’ll listen close. Her name they’re bound to say.
Just what’s that mean “on Dad’s side” anyway?
Dad’s side of what? And how long will it be
till that Spacific Ocean we will see?
We couldn’t see it last time cause of rain.
Was it Spacific? Oh, my mixed up brain!
Mom made some salty stuff for us to eat.
it’s cereal – not sweet- yet it’s a TREAT!
It’s called Chex Mix. I keep trying to choose
the curly nuts in it. (Mom says cashews!)
They’re better than plain peanuts. What a taste!
I’ll eat it all, so it won’t go to waste.
We’re all squeezed in back here, but I am by
the window, happy for this sunny day!
But suddenly are clouds, and without a sound,
when the rain pours down, Daddy turns around.
We’re heading home. I hate the sudden bang
of thunder. We won’t see Spacific! DANG!

*This is one of my few actual memories from when I was three years old, but I used poetic license to fill in the gaps!
It is in the grey of icy evenings
When those dimly-lit wishes seem to fade,
A bitter nip, a woe this season brings
The chafing of hope's ardor, delayed.
Even though I grieve during the passage
Of summer’s festive and vigorous trails
How could I not ponder on this new stage;
As the quiet of misty Fall unveils
Reflective pauses where breaths gently ease
The dark and long wait of unanswered squall;
Endowing thoughts with a hymnal reprise
And, guiding stillness with poise that enthrals.
It must be the cold flakes in dusk-like stent
That restores hope with godly contentment.

. in mortar of stones
silent masquerades revealed…
recessed yesterdays
..........
the day leans heavy
upon contemplation….
thoughts flow as rivers
...........
breezes meander
through castles of reflection....
a tiptoe through dreams

Millions suffer everyday,
With depression anxiety addiction and compulsions
Therapy and drugs may calm the symptoms
But the root of the problems
Lie deep in one’s mind.
Suffocating each thought with torment and distress
A sick soul is what needs to be properly addressed
Take each thought captive and put it under arrest
Fill each negative thought with a positive
learn to rewire and undress.
Start with every second and watch how your thoughts will change
Bringing about better behaviors and complete healing to one’s brain
This plagues that so many have battled with for so long
Give it to God and change those old undertones
For we were born to live in great peace
Even if the world around us has constant grief
We are victorious when we start to believe His truth
Sever the ties to any trouble from your youth
No one escapes the tests in this life
But when we learn how to conquer
We can achieve all that’s ours
So start each day with a positive view
It never hurts to try something new.
Will this piece of pie
put me over my
calorie count?
I desperately
I want to wear
my new jeans
I bought two
years ago.
The galaxy is so big
I wonder if there is
other life forms on
the planet mars.
Why are instructions
used so often,
when they fill
the trash can?
Why did I fall for
a selfish guy?
Why didn’t I see
that he was in
love with himself.
Why try to please
everyone when I
have the hardest
time pleasing
my own self.
Why does the
weatherman
get paid so
much for their
predictions?
Why do some lawyers
care more about
their client's
bank account,
Than their
innocence.
Why I am rambling
on in my thoughts,
thinking about
nothing in particular?
Darn, it's only three
o'clock in the morning
and I can't sleep.

*Inspired the crumble thoughts contest,
I have know have clue if this what sponsor
is looking for.
Good morning Mommy and Dad
Today I will try not to be bad
I don't know what I want to eat
No! Not that cereal. It's not sweet
Mommy, I don't wanna sit on the baby pot
How come you don't have what Dad I and got
I need a lot more track to play with my train
Mommy, why can't I go out and play in the rain
Why does the cat always run away from me
I didn't mean to pull out her hair, not really.
I need to fix my bike with Daddy's tool
Addy is my favorite girlfriend at school
I don't know why I got into trouble
I just poured out my bottle of bubbles
I'm NOT a baby. I'm big 'cause I'm three
I gotta go to the potty and make pee pee
No. It's not my bath time yet.
I don't know when it is. I forget
But Daddy, I don't want to go to sleep
I can only count as high as ten sheep
I want the pajamas with Lightning McQueen
He's the fastest race car I ever seen
Daddy, read me a story then leave on the light
I love you, Mommy and Daddy. Good night
