Balloons

Ah I remember when we were travelling by bus. Mum and I. In town someone gave me a balloon and I was so happy with it! Which child (or adult *Ü*) doesn't love balloons? So there we where in the bus. It was busy and almost every seat was taken when suddenly.. BOOM!! My balloon snapt! Every jumped up a mile in their seats and when they saw what happened laughed! Thank goodness we had such a good bus driver that he didn't cause an accident when the balloon gave it's loud bang!

Have a great day, Liesel

Kids & Angels

Kids & Angels

"Everybody’s got it all wrong. Angels don’t wear halos. I forget why, but scientists are working on it."
Olive, age 9

"It’s not easy to become an angel! First you die. Then you go to heaven. Then there’s still the flight training to go through. And then you got to wear those angel clothes." Matthew, age 9

I Remember I Remember

Poetry Monday

I Remember I Remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away. I Remember I Remember
The roses, red and white.
The violets and the lily-cups--
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday,--
The tree is living yet!
I Remember I Remember
Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air musr rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
The summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.

I Remember I Remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.

Thomas Hood
