Always thinking
Building memories
Childrens' times
Dreams acted out
              O, cherish the memories of helping children to dream.

But reality can be crippled by your steps

Be careful of the imprints that you leave 

For they are the guidance of your childrens future...

The smell of oven baking cake
A comfy chair to take a break
My parents round for tea
The comfort of these tall strong walls
The noisy wail of childrens calls
No place I'd rather be

Footsteps
Trod in sands
Lines
Drawn by childrens’ hands

Smoothed by onshore winds
To exist
Though briefly
To be expunged
By rolling seas
To leave a canvas ready

For lines
Drawn by chuldrens’ hands
And footsteps
Trod in sands...

Down by the pond, off of the brook,
fishin' all day with a worm and a hook.

Childrens excitement with each and every bite,
realing in the fish as they put up a fight.

Clean up their fish, fry them in a pan
eat em up, eat em up, fast as they can!...

little light,
finds the way,
to a spot,
on isle day,
where rain will melt,
the frozen beat,
of the heart,
laid at your feet,
calm and sweet,
the spirit sings
where the childrens,
laughter rings,
over the rainbow,
down the well,
to the land,
where alice fell....

He stood erect.
I don't know
if he would have kissed his mate
     or patted his childrens' heads
when he set out from camp
     to procure food.
But they were happy
when he returned provisioned.
I bought him rice and tuna at Wal-Mart.
This is homelessness today....

Leaves turned red and gold
Crisp wind blushes childrens' cheeks
            indoors turkey roasts
   Family gathers, prayers, thanks
         Joyful in bounty of love

Pudgy Pumpkins glow round and orange bright
On Allhallows Eve star filled moonlit night
Bold Black Cats yowl with a canorous chorus
While children's joy explodes wide eyed before us

Laina The Lion
Full of courage
And strength
Is Laina the lion

Leaping and Prowling
Everywhere
And Every Day
Is what Laina the lion
Likes to do

Curious as can be
Is Laina the Lion
With eyes darting everywhere

Oh Laina the Lion
I wonder
What goes through your Lion brain...

A new beginning starts by moving from past
Making a brighter future for all tomorrow
Even when it means making hard choices
Right now means leaving a legacy to live
In a world where pollutions is slowly killing
Changing now can leave tomorrow childrens
An opportunity to thrive rather than die...

Ten thousands sparkling lights
Into one tree
Little childrens dream coming true
Rockefeller Center at her best
24 meters way up high
Her needles showing glossy
Straight from the forest
At the center of New York to see
By rich and by poor
On the main square
There will be Christmas for everyone
As it should be...

Childrens' carefree laughter abruptly endinG;
      Adults too  have goosebumps on their flesH.
      Some are joking - but it's only bravadO.
      They claim to hope to see the resident ghostS.
      Looking around the castle ruins, children start to play, buT
      Everybody jumps when a shadowy figure appearS...

Know this worlds future is guarded well
cloaked in beliefs, not someones spell

learnig may allow some to understand
what awaits those in the promised land

seeking knowledge of a future yet devised
Won't our childrens visions to be chastised

Instead of devising a plan for what's ahead
allow children to dream in a protected bed...
