Here’s my guest list:

Oh how I loved this man.

5.

Shel Silverstein

He’s probably one of the coolest people of all time.

Invitation

If you are a dreamer, come in.

a hope-er, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire
for we have some flax-golden tales to spin!
Come in! Come in!

Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda

Sittin’ in the sun

The Little Boy and the Old Man

Said the little boy, “Sometimes I drop my spoon.”
Said the old man, “I do that too.”
The little boy whispered, “I wet my pants.”
“I do that too,” laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, “I often cry.”
The old man nodded, “So do I.”
“But worst of all,” said the boy, “it seems
Grown-ups don’t pay attention to me.”
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
“I know what you mean,” said the little old man.
