These are a few of my Favorite things ..

My life as a child


When I was a child
There were not
So many
Smiles

I am not so sure
How
It all came
About

But my favorite
Toy
Became
Joy

We had be given
A brown
Record Player
With
A
Danny Kaye
Album
A Big Top Circus

They quickly became
My
Favorite
Songs

As young as
Four years old
I began
Singing
These songs
To my sisters and brother
Everyone would laugh
As I sang
These somewhat
Silly songs
And
Would
Also
Sometimes
Sing Along

It brought
Joy
Into our room
If only
For a little
While
Everyone
Would
Smile
Love LisaMe!

Note:  This inspiration was written for a poetry site.. contest .. What was your favorite toy as a child .. This is what came to mind .. It is amazing how we think back on our child hood .. and the things that we played with and or that were so important to us .. I sang these songs and pantomimed them which brought much laughter not only from my little brother and older sisters.. but also from my mother .. being so young I do not know that I truly understood .. the impact this had on our family or the true amount of Joy that was being filled into our lives at that time .. I think I just enjoyed being silly .. we laughed so hard our bellies hurt .. I sang these same songs to my children as they grew up .. And today my daughter sings them with her children ..  Prompting me to write a Moo~autiful story for my grandson .. since his mother gave him a nick name from the songs .. Words really do have an impact on our lives .. Your prompt to write about our favorite  toy as a child .. my poem may be better suited for a different contest .. But it sure brought a smile to my heart this morning .. God Bless you

About Me

My photo
LisaMe! is an inspirational writer; Sharing the Word; as God gives it to me. I am willing to go where He leads me; When I was just a little girl; I began to hear about Jesus. I learned wonderful songs of how; He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way. And how to Trust and Obey for there is no other way. And a little light that was "mine"; I was supposed to let it shine. As I began to grow up I had many questions in my heart. I loved Jesus there was no question of that. But I never really understood how; He could walk with me and talk with me; or what it meant to truly trust and obey. And I was not sure at all about having a light that would shine. God used candy to help teach me the answers to many of these questions. He became real to me; through the years of seeking Him; Learning how to share Him with others; so they could truly know Him and experience His Love; without pretense. I pray as you read these inspirations you will be blessed.
