Grab A Tiger By The Tail......

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me ... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

                                                 -Shel Silverstein-

     

Toccoa opened his eyes, The sparkle in them seemed to say,

"What kind of mischief can I get into today?"

The worlds so big, and I so small,

How can I ever hope to see it all?

Kisses and hugs for Mommy 
Kisses and hugs for Daddy
Heart so big, arms so small
Wish they were bigger so
I could hug you all.

Fast feet fast feet!
I move as fast as I can
Running to and fro
And all around
Will I ever slow down?

Oh brother!
Here comes that silly kitty!
Mommy says be gentle
Will she notice
If I grab it by the tail?
(Yep, Mommy noticed.)

Day turns to night
Lay me down to sleep
My soul so gentle
And sweet it will keep
However I cannot resist
Opening my eyes for
One last peep.

Dedicated to my nephew Toccoa
