...a poem in my pocket... Aladdin's Lamp



young in years was I
delight in all that met the eye

an Aladdin's Lamp I wished to possess
told I it fulfilled wishes and happiness
and so placed I in playful jest
wishes upon my heart for what I loved best
much to my delight and loving joy
it was LIFE itself, my favorite toy.

POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY
April 18, 2013


Jesse


and what be the poetic delight this day
but to share all that Jesse brings our way
a spirit of power, love and knowing care
one who chooses what is kind and fair
in sports he does indeed excel
self mastery is developing so very well
learn he must in his very special style
consider, explore, discover, there be Jesse's smile
so what be the poetic delight this day
but to share all that Jesse brings our way.


Much love,
