Being glad is simple, and sometimes glad is great. Sometimes glad is liking almost everything on my plate.
I feel that way with birthdays. Birthdays make me glad. I like writing “I love you” in cards for Mom and Dad.
But sometimes glad is hard to find, like when angry came last week. Glad was nowhere, pushed away, and sad ran down my cheek.
Angry didn’t stay too long, that’s good, ‘cause it felt bad ... when it was gone, then there was room to put back my smiley glad!

Cj, This one made me so glad.. Your gift of childrens poetry is a blessing to all those little ones that enjoy your work.... I hope many more invite you to their schools and have you near to be blessed...
This is lovely, CJ. Your imaginative inventory is extra, extra large. You're are truly bless, my friend. I'm thrilled to bits to know you more through your brilliant work. :)
Out of the mouths of babes seem to come the inspiration for your childrens work as any parent of grandparent knows. These are wondeful value poems, well done CJ
God bless you! How important it is to give our children/grands a strong foundation, that allows them to experience all the emotions God gave us, in a balanced way...your poetry promotes health and well-being, and an understanding of all these, that allows children..to just be children.
I am truly thankful for you and your gift for children.
Love, Rhonda
It is children poems like this that make you the star. All your poetry makes me, and probably others, think of their kids and grandkids and the times we had raising them. I think of Mo and how she comes and sits on my lap and says, "Papaw, I love you", and that makes me glad.
Much love
Rusty
