Sometimes poetry comes in the most unexpected places

Here is one I found in an old Sesame Street Golden book from ages ago...
To try and give credit, I believe it was written by David Korr




When my imagination
Takes me by the mind,
It leads me off so far, so fast,
My body's left behind.
Yet that's when I am most myself,
Lost in wish and dream,
And coming back, I smile and think,
I`m more than I might seem.

Birthdays!

Ever think about birthdays really...
Today my niece turns 15. Yikes! When I met her she was only two and a half. And so small. With insanely curly hair.
Now she is a gorgeous, tall, thin, supermodel-looking type with a keen fashion sense and mad soccer skills. What is this world coming to?

Happy Birthday Clarissa. Knock it off, will ya?
