~*~

My teeth are bucked,
My pants too short,
I grow in leaps and bounds.
My knees are skinned,
I can't sit still,
And I like to clown around!

My voice cracks,
I'm always starving,
I've got acne on my face,
Freckles, freckles everywhere,
And I lack in social grace.
Who am I?

I'm a boy, in pre-pubescence,
I soon will be a teen,
I'm in what's called, "the awkward stage",
I'm somewhere in between!

You mean you weren't describing me as a tomboy?     I could have sworn you were reading my diary!!!

Surely you jest, O' Beauteous Orb of Light!

This was inspired by a friend's 12 year-old son whom I adore! He is struggling with the trials and tribulations that are part and parcel of being a pre-teen!

Warm, lovin' hugs,
Linda

Yes, I suppose you are right! Now is between the past and the future!

Earth Angel
What ever he's the apple of his parents eye
And in the future a lasses sigh.
You fly a kite attached to a smile.

Thanx for the up-lifting, poetic reply! I'll show it to him! That ought to put a smile on his sweet face!

Come fly with me!

Oh, my! Your little horns are showing!   

Actually, your assumptions are partially correct!  As a little girl, I was always tripping and skinning my knees--and I did have freckles!

Warm, morning hugs,
EA

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, I know what you mean because when I was a little boy I too had lots of freckles and I was real short (I still am short for my age) and everyone always made fun of me at school but my mom always says how cute I was being so short but having big bright blue eyes! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Linda,

This is so well written and a perfect description....Two of my grandsons are aged 14 and 11....

what a riot they are.....I can go a couple days without seeing them and one or the other has grown another inch....and another scab...

Conversations we've had make my eyeballs pop out...in their knowledge and opinions of sexual issues especially the 11 yr. old.....oh my gosh!!!

So glad I am Nanny and not Mom in this day and age....but am glad....they are informed....one is into skateboards, the other (11 yr old) into girlfriends who call him! I told him he is too young for such and he just grins....
He said well how old do you think I should be before my first kiss....I said oh, about 18....and his eyeballs about pop out... such a delight...
and then I get to send them home for mom to deal with real issues...

Enjoyed this a lot, Hugs, Pat

Noah ~

Are these pages really blue? --or do they just appear blue because we have blue eyes? tehe

Regardless of your physical stature may be, you stand mighty tall to all of us here at Passions!

Pat ~

It sounds to me that you have a wonderful relationship with all of your grandchildren and that you are all blessed with each other!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts--and another special peek into your life!

Lovin' hugs,
Linda
