I Can Do Anything...But

another kid one...maybe not

I think I could do it...
balancing an apple on my head
Blow a toad through a tuba
back home to his flower bed

I think I could do it
while hanging upside down
Paint a smile on a monkey
who's watching...with a frown

I think I could do it
while standing on my head
Spit a mouthful of marbles
over brother Billy's bed

but...

I  could never go to sleep
without a good-night kiss
That's all I have
to say 
That's all there is
of this

I can't go to sleep either without a good night kiss and those goodnight kisses stopped when I was 12 years old. This is well written and I could "see" everything you put in here.

Never leave home, or hang up the phone with a loved one without saying "I love you". Give hugs every chance you can get. And never, ever, forget, those especial good night kisses, because they mean and say so much.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
