Just One More Step

In rehearsals I find it difficult to stand back to my feet after demonstrating performance without assistance......and I began to think


 

I have not seen a little girl skip in years,  but   mostly I see belly skin, and peiced navels.

Might be good to hear 'Skip, skip, skip to my Lou.  Skip, skip, skip to my Lou.  Skip to my Lou my darling'.

Or is it that a fly in buttermilk, and shoo fly, shoo, doesn't interest children any more.

Funny how I never questioned being young.  I still am and I enjoy still growing up.  Every step grows higher and higher.

Louisa A Dobbins

Precious memories stay for those young at heart and a child's eye-view. thank you for sharing your Louisa. Mine was waiting for the vegetable truck to come by and my mom picking out a sweet tasting watermelon on a hot summers day.
Peace&Grace,
Sharon

you've brought back great childhood memories of my own...how I loved to sing skip, skip, skip to my Lou...and Fly's in the buttermilk shoo fly shoo, oh and the others..The Farmer in the Dale, London Bridge, and all the other classics...that was when parents encouraged their children to be just that children...I always told my own children that they only got one chance at being a child, make the most of it! When you get to be a grown up you've got to be one the rest of your life! I also tell my students this as well each year..I don't know if you've had the opportunity to read my article...Reliving History at Manchester Elementary...if you get a chance check it out! I think you'll enjoy it! I loved this write Louisa, makes me homesick for the years gone by!
Blessings my dear friend,
Joyce Bowling
