trifecta

benny says I should illustrate childrens books because of the "trifecta": relate to cute little kids, write cute little stories, draw cute little pictures

tomorrow I'll miss you

close your eyes and i'll kiss you

here comes peter cotton tail

my little cabin in the woods

six years old

I want to jump into a puddle

that takes me back into my dreams

through the pages of every book

down the banks of every stream



I want to jump into a lake

That takes me back in time

To every game of dress up

Through every nursery rhyme



If I could jump into a river

That flows through ancient memories

To every laugh forgotten

To the shade under every tree



My body would float with the tide

And back to my childhood I would drift

All my fears would subside

all my worries would suddenly lift

forever a child I would be

if forever I could hold these memories

AMERI-YES I-CAN!
