The artist

The artist

With a steady hand
He takes his imagination to the pad
He wants to be the best in the land
This young and talented lad

With a focused mind
And a tongue slightly escaping
His art is inclined
To be blinding

As mom and dad
Watch the curious hand
That strokes the pad
They wonder if this picture was preplanned

Take a moment to wait
And then you will be see the prize
With a drawing that is great
His talent will be a surprise

As he sits down to write
One can only focus on
That something is not right
A shoe is gone

He can not be bothered with this detail
For he has a masterpiece to make
So without fail
He will make a beautiful keepsake

Reading Time

Reading Time

Children of all age
Come as I turn each page
Let me help you explore a new place
And bring smiles upon your face
Come sit and take a look
At each book
Our  friends will show you
A world that is new

Let the words take you by the hand
Come along to explore a new land

Mom and Dad

Dear Mom and Dad
I hear you fight
everynight
I know you live every night sad

Most of my friends have parents that leave apart
you choose to stay together in our home
although in your heart
you both feel alone

You think this is what is best for me
you both don't see
what happens at night
what happens during every fight

You don't see me pray for you to be happy
this may seem a bit sappy
dear mom and dad
I know you are sad

I will be fine
please mom and dad
if you are happier apart

it will not break my heart
