+*+*+

Up and down
And all around,
Touch the sky,
Touch the ground.

Skip and hop,
Run and jump.
Over every
Little bump.

Sing it high,
Sing it low,
Sing wherever
You may go.

Laugh out loud,
Love and smile,
As you walk
Every mile.

Give out hugs,
Help a friend.
Don't break hearts,
Help them mend.

Be yourself,
Spread your joy,
To man and woman,
Girl and boy.

Girl you got it going on
As awesomely you sing along
Smiling to those along your way
Making tender impressions everyday
Touching the hearts of many
Giving love to those who don't have any

I loved this.They tease me at work all the time and call me smile because they say no matter what I always smile.They tell me I'm too cheerful and I just tell them they are them and I am me.

I love it, Linda. Another beautiful Peter Pan poem from your pen...

My goodness! After I wrote the poem, I did write it into a song for my trusty guitar! lol  Oh, you know me so well! But then, we are kindred spirits, are we not!

Happy autumn!

so very true, good advice, a smile never fades from ones memory, while a frown just brings dismay.

Well, m'dear, it's about time you showed your blooming face at Passions!--Unless, I've been blind or out in outer space too long!

Thanks for dropping by and for your considerate reply!

(happy young fawn in spring prancing on rainbow dance) Yay! Oh Linda, this is such a  gorgeous sing-along, sweet friend, this sounds like it should be in a Disney movie, so many of my favorite songs are from Disney movies, like Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and Hakuna Matata! (kiss on cheek) Yay, now let's so skipping with the cherubs on the clouds, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



Love,
Noah Eaton
