We need the rain to make the roots go deep and strengthen us. My husband's roses love the rain and have started their series of blooming and will bloom until November, if we get rain!
My mom says my imagination is too big. I should cut it into smaller pieces so the coloring book in my head can fit on the kitchen table. But how do I shrink the moon or turn a rainbow into ribbon when tomorrow seems a year away? I never fit where I am or reach where I want to go. Chairs are uncomfortable, shoes keep my feet from feeling the grass, and every time I see a butterfly I know one day I’ll have wings. Mom can’t hear the dandelions or hold a spoon against the window to catch drops of sunlight before night covers it with stars. I don’t think I ever want to grow up. I’d be too bored. Where would I put my teddy bears when my bed is nothing but an ocean of pillows? Susie Clevenger 2024 What's Going On? ~ Children Susie Clevenger 2024

ReplyDeleteWe need those storms, to remind us we're alive, to help us grow (strong).
