4 Line Stories: The Adventurers
After making sure the coast was clear
They decided to make a break for it
Mom was asleep, kids will be kids
They were off for the adventure of a lifetime

Wednesday Surprise
A Wednesday surprise
From my little girl’s mind
She took me by the hand
Pulled me from deep thoughts
About the next set of stanzas
And next set of verses I could write
She took me to her fantastic world
Where fairies fluttered around
Where princesses were a common sight
She poured me a cup of magical tea
And I began to see the bright pink and powder blue fireworks above
She told me her tea was made of honey dipped love
I have to admit I felt a sweet joy inside
We laughed as we rode upon winged unicorns
The fairies managing to keep in stride
When we landed, my little girl gave me the biggest hug
And ask “did you have fun daddy?”
“Daddy had soooooo much fun,” I replied
“Thank you for my Wednesday surprise,” I said through the biggest smile
“I like seeing you smile, daddy,” she said with the most purest sentiments
Nothing seemed so important anymore
I swooped her up and we went for another ride on those winged unicorns
With fluttering fairies close behind

Doves of Peace
The truest light of this life
Is found in the smile of a little child
This is joy at its peak
When innocence speaks of believable dreams
Little hearts filled with enormous and wonderful things
Gleaming little doves of peace
Spirits and souls in sweet harmony
Let us blanket them with nothing but love
They are essential to the dawn of a better world

The Grass Is Still Green Up There
As kids, we used to lay in the grassy terrain
Shaping clouds into images
Many a day, we’d rendezvous here
Escaping from tasks and chores
Innocence of life
As teens, we’d go and sit on the grassy terrain
It sat high above and you could see all the city
Looking at clouds and speaking of who we would be
Someday, one day
After school and weekends, this was the place to be
As young adults, we visited the grassy terrain
Remembering our days as kids
Laying and watching the clouds
Smiling and joking about our innocence
We still look up at the clouds
Some sort of nostalgic connection
Our rendezvous not as frequent
So, here we are
All grown up
The two of us
Laying on a blanket on top of the grassy terrain
Looking out at the city
It’s night and the lights look so beautiful
Out of the ordinary, truly a breath-taking view
There are some things that stick with you for life
Things that grow up right along with you
The memories of that grassy terrain
Will live with us forever
