[hometext] => A Children's Poem About Looking Forward To The Adventures Of A New Day
[bodytext] => ................................ "Remember what Bilbo used to say: 'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to." -J.R.R. Tolkien .............................. Wake up, Sleepy Head! For the night is through. Look around! Adventure's Been waiting for you! There are so many mysteries to solve, And treasure's to find. Oh, we can seek out a secret Of the most secret kind! Perhaps we will find A Safari at noon, Or watch a new cow Jump over the moon! Or travel through time In an old Wishing Well, And put a new crack In the Liberty Bell! Wake up, Sleepy Head! Shake off the new dawn. The morning is here, And the night is long gone. We have Adventures ahead, A creative cache! And we've so much to do, And time is ticking away! Maybe we'll climb That one Tree among tree's, Or find a new word In our A's, B's, and C's. Or swim through the Amazon Without stopping for air! Oh, you wouldn't believe All the fun we'll have there! We might sail the Atlantic In an old Clipper Ship, Or search out and capture A live FiggleSnip! Or a Tozzle-Moffed Took And a Green Pflittlefulfly. Oh, the things we can do If only we give them a try. Maybe we'll build a Great Wall That will stretch on and on From the halls of Reflection To the Gulf of Oman? Or Lasso the North Star And climb the Great Mount McVee. Oh, all the things we will see, Most people never see! We've that enigma to solve! To seek out and explore! Far, far too much excitement To be standing still for! So wake up, Sleepy Head. Nod your slumbering eyes. We're heading into a quest Filled with wonder and surprise. There is simply no limit To the things you can do When such adventure and marvel Are waiting for you! ............... Copyright © 2011 R. D.
