Listen

Listen to the mustn's, child.
Listen to the don'ts.

Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves,
then listen close to me . . .

Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.

Shel Silverstein

It should be compulsory for all parents to pass this on to their children.

When I am Rich,
I agree, and the parents should listen to it as well.

Christine,
I thought Tigger would appreciate this one. I really like Shel Silverstein's works.

These are great! I think hot air balloons are amazing. There's a show near Danville in the summer that has them too.

Hey SQ, you sure are busy with all your blogs and the amount of followers - how on earth do you do that?
Thanks for the kind words. Am finding it an uphill struggle to keep on keeping on. Your story line looks much shorter than mine - maybe thats the way to go.
Have a good one yourself, the eve is drawing in here.

yasabetwordsmith,
They are so much fun to watch, the great part is that they fly right over our yard.

Miss Mapp,
How, very late nights, but it is fun and my followers are great. I like your story and will be back later to read more. Have a good evening.

MzzLily,
Yep, same here.

Thanks for following. Very true, you just have to really want it.
I think this is one of may favorites from Silverstein also.
