Count The Stars – Still Water Psalms

For my grand kids, it’s back to school time. I’ve been sending kids/grand kids to school now for 34 years! I still remember the day my oldest son went to kindergarten. I can recall what he wore, and I can still see his cute blonde hair and his cowboy shirt. How quickly time passes–sometimes so quickly that it’s scary.

Count the stars in the big night sky,
Count the years, they go flying by,
Love them now, or you’ll ache with sorrow,
They’ll grow free and be gone tomorrow.

Baby diapers to barbie dolls,
Sesame street to shopping malls,
Teddy bears to 10-speed bikes,
Playing Ninja to the big prom night.

Mother watch me and play with me to
Bye for now, can I have the car keys?

  I noticed that, silly spammers will pop up everywhere I guess. At least maybe they’re seeing some pretty pictures and reading a thoughtful poem while they’re being busy.
