~ For My Little
Ones A
WISH FOR YOU Quiet
strolls on moonlit nights, a playground's endless
laughter, Blooming
roses in the spring, the glow the morning after. Walking
barefoot in the grass, a poem that makes you cry, The
feel of silk upon your skin, an eagle when it flies. Love
songs on the radio, old couples holding hands, Newborn
kittens nursing, enthusiastic fans. Sitting
on a porch swing, sipping lemonade, Admiring
the beauty in all that God has made. Watching
for a shooting star, a breeze that cools things down, The
first snow of the winter, a night out on the town. Little
acts of kindness, a loving word or two, Simple
things to treasure, these things I wish for you.
flies fly free...
If you
love someone or some thing, you better hang on for dear life! Nothing lasts forever!
~ Catch
Another Butterfly ~
Do you remember days
not so very long ago When the world was run by people twice
your size? And the days were full of laughter And the nights were full of stars And when you grew tired you could close
your eyes Yes the stars were there for wishing And the wind was there for kites And the morning sun was there for rise
and shine And even if the sniffles kept you Home from school in bed You couldn't hardly stay there after
nine
Do you remember
camp-outs right in your own backyard? Wondering how airplanes could fly And the hours spent just playin' With a funny rock you found With crystal specks as blue as all the
sky
Now I watch my
daughter, she's playin' with her toys She's happy, I give her all I can But I can't help feelin' Just a little tingly inside When I hear her say she wants to be a
woman
And I wonder if the
smell of morning's faded What happened to the robin's song That sparkled in the sky? Where's all the water gone That tumbled down a stream? Will I ever catch another butterfly? Will I ever catch another butterfly?
