How many paradigms and how many paradoxes 
can you stuff into a pair of pint-sized treasure boxes?

I'm so shiny bright
Mommy calls her daughter Sun

Pint-sized diva's just begun

** This poem is in memory of Jesse Lewis. Jesse was a six-year old boy who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Jesse died while leading the other children to safety.







He rides to the place of glory.

 

He rides to the place of the Lord.



 

Jessie will sometimes act like the pint-sized Scrooge to make the angels and people laugh and smile.

 

He had a lot of courage and love inside of him.



 

Now he will go horseback riding.

 

Helping people ride into the gates of heaven....

A young boy toddles with shovel and pail.
His mother watches him fall to the sand.
Laughter erupts on the wind like a sail
blowing his toyboat to a distant land
as water cascades over busy hands.

His pint-sized sandcastle towers above
the boy's imaginative stories of
a king sitting on a fairy tale throne.
The shoreline displays his labor of love
where the sand and ocean are brightly sewn.
