 ~*~ ~*~ There is a child within most of us we need not hide so deep The part of us that never grows up it is so much fun to keep Whenever trials and pain of life seem to take its toil If we call upon the child within we will find it has a roll The child within is a refuge when hard are storms of life To offer a smile from memories of when we knew not strife Bringing to us laughter and joy from deep within Helping us to know that life is possible to win For so much in this life could unhappy make us stay Maybe for part of the time we can laugh, have fun and play If we will let our child self take over for a little while We may find upon our face a happy little smile ~*~ ~*~ |

Ethel, My dad's name was Teddy. Needless to say I like this one. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Martie, isn't it true? Having fun and acting like a kid sometimes keeps us younger, I think. I know you love your flowers, so.....  . . Margherita, I believe that, too. And "laughter is the best medicine". Flowers? . . Alicia, thank you for your reply and for writing such a wonderful poem that made me think of happy times. A rose for you.....  . . Heart Hugs to you all, Ethel |

 Yay!!! (does happy dance) Oh Ethel, I love swinging in the park with my sisters, today it got up to 80 degrees here and I went with them, yay! I love ducks so much just as I love all of Mother Nature's creatures! When I see a mother and all her baby ducklings follow her, it always makes me cry in joy because they look so cute waddling! Yay!  Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-12-2003 09:50 PM).] |

Ethel~ This brought back memories of my childhood. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing. Each time I get to visit my grand children I get real childish and get down in the floor to play with them...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |
