So proud of my little Ralphie.  His Kindergarten teacher choose him and 5 other students to create a sea life diorama to be displayed at there open house this week.

He did such a fantastic job!!!

Take a peek

The creativity of a child's mind is a precious thing.

Love you Ralphie

Sharing one of my favorite pieces of poetry that always manages to take me back to my childhood.

Poem for the creative child

By  Kathryn Haydon

Shimmering golden canopy

arching above

as you sail

back and forth

through the crisp autumn air

on your wooden airplane

strong arms stretched out

grasping tightly to rope

that transforms the old, discarded board

into magic,

lifting you up

above the world’s sorrow and sadness

turning your ear to the whispering leaves

that sing of innocence,

promise,

expectation.

the rope twists

and in a show

of childlike abandon

you whirl

with glee

enlacing life with strands of delight as

yellow shooting stars

loosened from the tree’s grasp

cascade to the carpet below.

I make a wish,

this moment

frozen in time,

you on your wooden swing

sailing,

wings stretched out

into forever.
