Pre-schooler And The Puppy comic poem number 362

 Sweetie's aunty bought a puppy

Asked Swetie to meet her

Told Sweetie, 'Don't be afraid

Would you like to greet her?

'When you want to make a friend

You can give them a treat

If you don't have a thought or gift

You give them something nice to eat!'

So Sweetie gave the dog a treat

The dog is now her friend

The dog and Sweetie, both are happy

Thaat's how all good stories end.

But I must add a moral

About how to run one's life

About how to end a quarrel

Anf fix the whole world's strife

Sweetie's learned to give and take

And how to make a friend

How friendships mend before they break

The trend's find love to send and in the end.

Sweetie' is my grandchild. I changed her name to Swetie to make the poem more universal, and to give privacy and security to the child.

Writing Every Day's Wrongs

I ought to write every day

I wish this thought would go away

Do what I think, not do and say

Then you could read me every day.

They say that writing clears your mind

Of things which should be left behind

Unfortunately love is blind

Re-living past wrongs is unkind.

Some things are better left unsaid

Unwritten, buried with the dead

Will writing really clear your head?

Move on's what mother often said

So now I see what holds me back

The barrier, the will I lack

I have exposed that fatal fact

That child's ear thought holds my hand back.
