Children

A little reminder that children should still be children...
I looked through my window at the outside,
where I had just finished playing,
hopscotch, jump rope, jacks and played on the slide,
the grass was still a little green yet.
So I got into my pajamas, and brushed my teeth,
and got into bed to dream of sheep,
I slept really good that night, but when I saw the sun,
I got out of bed, and looked out of my window,
and saw the most marvelous sight of all...IT SNOWED!
So I took my bath, and put on my jeans with flowers on the back,
then I ran downstairs, and put my snowsuit and boots on and went out to play.
I made a snowman all by myself, his eyes, were stones that I found,
and so was his mouth, his nose was a stick, laying in our yard.
after he was finished, I went and told my friends, and they all came to see,
the snowman I had built by myself.
We formed a ring around the snowman, and each of us holding hands,
we sang a song as we danced around, called "The Jolly Ole Snowman"
a song we made up a year before.
These times are for the children,
and they should not be forsaken to them,
for children should be children as long as they can.

Thank you Barbara for the larger, darker print. Some of us with very limited vision do appreciate the larger pring because it is so much easier to read. My eyes extend their appreciation. ......
Be Safe,
