Bed Is Too Small

Bed is too small to rest my tiredness,

I'll take a hill for pillow, soft with trees.

 

Now draw the clouds up tight beneath my chin,

God, blow the moon out, please.

Four-Leaf Clovers

I know a place where the sun is like gold,

And the cherry blooms burst with snow;

And down underneath is the loveliest nook,

Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

 

One leaf is for hope, and one for faith,

And one is for love, you know;

But God put another in for luck --

If you search, you will find where they grow.

 

But you must have hope, and you must have faith;

You must love and be strong; and so,

If you work, if you wait, you will find the place

Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

Leisure

 What is this life, if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare,

 

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

 

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

 

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

 

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

 

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

 

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

 

having a bad day?

If you are having a bad day then you need to check out this card.  This poor dude is REALLY having a bad day.

really important stuff my kids have taught me

Just because you can't spell doesn't mean you can't write a good story.

Don't laugh if you don't get the joke.

Make up a reason to have a party.

Picking your nose when no one is looking is still picking your nose.

Even Popeye didn't eat spinach until he absolutely had to.

Usually you learn your lesson, but you don't always remember it.

Nobody notices it when your zipper is up, but everyone notices when it's down.

Be silly.                                                                

Ask for sprinkles.

Enjoy the ride.

If you wait until you're really sure, you'll never take off the training wheels.

Don't nod on the phone.

Trust people.                                             

Who cares what happened last week?

You think your book bag is the heaviest until you pick up someone else's by mistake.

Don't expect a stranger to wipe your nose.

Ask why until you understand.

Where you're going is more important than where you stand.

I meant to do my work today

I meant to do my work today

But a brown bird sang in the apple-tree,

And a butterfly flitted across the field,

And all the leaves were calling me.

 

And the wind went sighing over the land,  

Tossing the grasses to and fro,                                                                  

And a rainbow held out its shining hand --          

So what could I do but laugh and go?
