FEARS Dedicated to Samantha: Never be in a hurry to grow-up! The one thing that I fear the most Is not some stupid little ghost. It's not boogie men in the dark, It's not a shadow or a shark. It's not a monster beneath my bed, It's not the recess bully Ted. It's not a witch, it's not even math, It's this HUGE GREEN IGUANA sharing my bath! H E L P!

Most of all... My neice Samantha (6 Years Old) is already more advanced on the computer than I am, and she has read it at least 10 times & tells me "Uncle Todd that is funny!" She may be the youngest "Passions" enthusiast yet LOL! Thank you all for your input!!!! |

Wanted to share a thought with you....my daughter, she is 9, asked if she could read a poem here last night....as you know most are not for young ones...I thought of this one instantly...she loved it and even wrote a few poems of her own last night...my writing never did that for her and I thought you may want to know that yours did Many thanks! |

As a preschool director, I am constantly looking for something to encourage young children to test their creative sides...This little piece is going to spark a lot of young minds! Thanks a bunch! I'm going to have the teachers read the poem to the children and allow the children to then create illustrations! Oh, I love it! Thanks!! --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
