Rhyme @ MindSay 
poem
amishgod. this book is amazing.
but before i start-YES. it is a children's book. written by Jaime Lee Curtis and illustrated by Laura Cornell. and it's one of those that rhyme. and it's amazing and i like it. :D
so it starts out with this kid sitting on a bench with his mom and he asks "is there really a human race?" and then he goes on asking questions about it like "is it a sprint to the end?" and "when did it start? who said ready set go? did it start on my birthday? i really must know."
and then a little later it goes on into "if i get lost, do i find my way back?" and stuff like that. "if i make a mistake, do i learn?"
it's really great:
"Is it a sprint? A dash to the end?
Am I aware of the time that I spend?
And why do I do it, this zillion-yard dash?
If we don't help each other, we're all going to...
CRASH."
and then:
"Sometimes it's better not to go fast.
There are beautiful sights to be seen when you're last.
Shouldn't it be that you just try your best?
And that's more important than beating the rest?
Shouldn't it be looking back at the end
that you judge your own race by the help that you lend?"
ghdklghkdlglie it's so good!! i would definitely suggest buying it. ...now. :D
AND ALSO:
"So, take what's inside you and make big, bold choices. And for those who can't speak for themselves, use bold voices. And make friends and love well, bring art to this place. And make the world better for the whole human race."
:D

Topic is:
An unforgettable dream
This is a rhyme i wrote for a friend who does her whole wiki in rhyme. She asked about my life and some of what i have been thru...and i thought i'd go ahead and share it with my friends, altho it is lengthy..will give you a little insight into my life. She also asked about how i love words and rhyming.
I lived in africa from the age of five;
My life has taken some ducks and some dives.
Mom and dad loved Jesus, you see
They want to share him; His gift is for free.
They wanted to tell of his power and his love,
Of God sending his son from above
To heal and forgive, to free and to save,
He has love to give, wave after wave.
He'll take you and make you whole and brand new
When He does, others will want it, too.
They will see the complete joy that he gives
And how that you've changed, when He in you lives.
So they took us four children far over the sea
To south africa , that beloved country
Nosiree, it was not strange for long
After a while there was nothing wrong
Cause I was so little when we arrived there
That I was fine; hardly a care.
However, I suffered at times, somewhat
Felt insecure, unwanted, and lonely, a lot.
For they did God's work, seemed at our expense
Were often away; that did not make sense.
To me, as a child, kept by one or another
In my mind, I was sad, then it started to bother.
I felt insecure and started to act
In unreasonable ways, for I'd made a pact.
To get their attention- one way or the other
This chagrined my father and mother.
I always had to be the star of the show
You could rest assured that all would soon know.
This precocious child soon was a pain
Nothing i did worked; it all seemed in vain.
So as days, months, years passed me by
I continued to act the opposite of shy.
I looked for love wherever I could
And did not act as a good christian should.
I knew that when I said one thing to a boy
I'd get a reaction, he was just like a toy.
I could play and tease and I ever did strive
For pleasure from this attention derived.
This feeling of rejection followed my wake
And up until recently was difficult to shake.
I had been in the church every time it was open
I'd dance and I'd shout, all the while still a hopin'
That something would fill the hole deep within
And cleanse me from what I knew was a sin.
My marriage was in jeopardy many a time
I could not find joy for reason or rhyme.
But finally, just a short time ago
Something spoke, so I made a show
Of seeking the Lord at an altar, and then--
Something changed from without, and within !
I could tell that this time my about face would last
I had let go of the sins of the past.
I came away feeling such satisfaction
Joy and peace from such a small action.
I guess it took making up my mind
And now I'm putting my nose to the grind;
For those years that I spent in shallow disdain
He's turned them around, much more I have gained.
I cannot explain how different I feel
This time, I have a feeling it's real.
I can go without looking around all the time
Hoping for loving; His contentment is mine.
The sins of the past I've laid all aside
Such as friends that I had to hide;
I now am free to tell all and shout
That I truly know what salvation's about!
Love for words and rhyming:
Rhyming, well that is a love
For words, that I guess is from up above
My husband had a prophecy said over his wife
People would from me pluck the fruit of life
For I have a way with words you can see
That can lift up and encourage, or damage badly
But when used for his glory they'll be to the good
And help some poor soul, live ever they should
When we used to ride along in the car,
We would rhyme the miles away, far
Dad would make up songs and we'd sing
In three part harmony, then role reversing
I would sing alto then tenor, try base
Then Dad would sing high, oh, the look on his face!
Anyway now, I have written this out
You must tell me what you are about
You don't have to say in rhyming to me
But please speak again, since you've seen me
I look forward to hearing again
And reading what you say with your pen
What do you think of this rhyme by the way?
Is is alright, or does it sound gay?
LOL
I'd love to hear from my friends out there
If there's a part of your life you'd like to share
Whether in rhyme, I know that you'll manage
Without doing very much damage...
has anyone ever seen a sheep dance? lol if not heres ur chance!! :D
