Image hosted by Photobucket.com

she came into my room at 2 am
and tapped my shoulder

"mom" she said, I cant sleep
"why" I asked?

because god is bowling --

and everytime he wins he flashes lights

I chuckled, and scooped her up
to lay her back down  to sleep

I kissed her forehead and
tucked her in --

promised it would be over soon

as I turned to leave

        she said:

"I sure hope so, because it's hard
to sleep with all that noise"

~~


she comes up with the most amazing thoughts....sigh...a little humor
and a smile or two

Ah, Lauren, how perfect!
The "heavenly bowling" story was told to myself and my sister many times over in our childhood. Yes, and we told it to our own little ones. Hugs to you and yours. Chris

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Yes Lauren...my sister is right..
we were told the same thing about God bowling.
This is precious!
Hugs!

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

you are most welcome ....

      I think all children may have the same thoughts, just their own special way of sharing them .....

         the young of mind sharing with those of us young of heart  

          
            ready for a duet? ...... *SIGH*

Lauren,
Any chance she told you His score? Just adorable, like her mom. Gotta love that.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
