I am

[stevieray]

I am a lady who is crazy for horses and school.
I wonder if my sister thinks about me when she is in school.
I hear my brain exploding because Mr. O teaches me too much.
I see Jesus and the angels shining down on me at night.
I want a horse really bad.
I am a lady that is crazy for horses and school.

I pretend to be a teenager.
I feel that books open up to me and tell me to read them.
I touch my brain.
I cry when my dad smokes.
I am a lady who is crazy for horses and school.

I definetly understand that I can be annoying at times.
I always say I don't like being scared.
I dream I am famous.
I try to stay on task at school.
I hope that I will go to heaven.
I am a lady who is crazy for horses and school.


I went and ate lunch with my nine year old, and this is a poem she wrote as part of a project. Thought I'd share it with the board.

A nine yr old speaking of herself as a lady..... cute...

She sounds like a smart and imaginative kid......

And quit your smokin Dad.... don't make your little girl cry..... :D

[InChiefsHeaven]

HOly crap dude...that's pretty deep for a nine year old. Good stuff.

[Braincase]

Touching.


When my youngest daughter was in kindergarten, she drew picture, brown with a red crooked streak down the middle of it.

SHe had a name for the picture...

"Jesus on the Cross Closeup"

I'm still humbled by that picture... hangs by the dining room table.

Excellent work!

What is it about horses and lil' girls....my daughter loves horses too.

She has one of her own at her aunt's farm in Iowa.

[stevieray]

I expected to see a burning bush.


very nice work.

[bogie]

Wow, I have an 8 year that I thought was creative. That is an excellent poem. Obviously your daughter is afriad her Daddy's going to die from smoking. Quit for her.

[Iowanian]

I'll bet FDE would quit smoking.....except that he's afraid of the Manmeltoe in the FDE getup grossing National TV audiences out if he swells into fat bastaallld.

ROFL

[MOhillbilly]

reads like Bukowski.


Edit- After re-reading that its fantastic insight for a 9 year old, you should be super proud.

[Fish]

Smart and cute as a button too.....

I feel sorry for you in about 8 yrs...... she's gonna break some hearts....

Way to raise a kid, Poppa!

[Warrior5]

You are truly blessed, stevieray.

The insight our children provide is amazing. My daughter was four when she came up with our family mantra while watching me work on some menial task (like putting together a bookcase or computer desk) and realizing I'd installed a piece backward or something:

me: Crap, that's not right...

lauren: Don't worry, Dad. Happiness makes mistakes.

I love that sentiment.

Good on your daughter stevieray. Just make sure she dosen't try to lead the French in some armed revolt against the English (al la Joan of Arc)!

Be proud stevieray!

What a cutie! Here's two of mine:

I would post a pic of my 7 year old daughter and 10 year old boy, but I can't EVER catch them clean!

[RealSNR]

Wow, this is a terrible poem. She's no Emily Dickinson, that's for sure

[Phobia]

She spells better than Nick Athan, that's for sure.

[RealSNR]

She spells better than Nick Athan, that's for sure.I seriusly doubt it. Warpiant Illustrated is an insider publcation

[Adept Havelock]

Nice one stevieray. Moving stuff. Great kid you've got there. Kudos for raising her.

As for being no Emily Dickenson, how is that a bad thing? What parent wants their kid to grow up to be a recluse wearing all white whose poems can all be read to the tune "The Yellow Rose of Texas"? :D

[seclark]

you're a lucky man, sr.
sec

[stevieray]

Thanks everyone, she's a great kid, wants to be a birthing nurse.

Our kids must be genetic throw backs. Kids don't get dirty, playing game boy, nintendo, on the computer, watching TV, etc.. My kids do all those things....but WAY prefer to be outside riding bikes and getting dirty!!

[Mark M]

That's a great poem, man!

You've got great kids -- as others have noted, you are truly blessed.
