Hi Everybody!
Today I have a colourful and fun piece to share. I was clearing my workdesk, better known as my messy kitchen table, and found a half finished piece painted on the cardboard from an A3 drawing block, as well as various scraps collage pieces. So I finished painting and then added the bits and bobs. I had fun, and I love this colourful journal page:
And then I remembered this poem written many years ago, and decided to put it together with this happy painting:
'We all get born when we are small,
It would be hard if we were tall!
Then we start out on our way
Through life which takes us many a day.
At first we cry and bawl and scream
Get fed and washed and rubbed with cream,
With powder and I know not what,
All babies seem to get the lot.
Then come the teeth and baby ills,
And weight-control and potty spills,
We start to laugh and talk and run
A toddler's life is lots of fun.
The years at school go by real’ fast
We learn that nothing in life can last.
Then comes the time to learn a job
Now we are part of the working mob,
Doing lots of work for little money,
On the whole not always funny.
And then we fall in love and wed
Kids are born and must be fed;
The days go by like a flash of laughter
Running after son and daughter.
And they grow up and then leave home
Start on families of their own.
And we get older then and older,
But have no fear, old age makes bolder,
For we don’t care what others say
And spoil our grandkids every day.
And then, perhaps, an old age home
With senior games and never alone.
And sooner or later, the game is over
And we get buried under the clover.
What comes after that, is yet to be seen,
Perhaps an eternal Halloween?
But as we don’t know, enjoy it now,
The journey through life till you take your last bow,
When the curtain falls for the very last call,
Till then, enjoy life, and have a real ball!'
I am linking to Erika's and my challenge at AJJ, Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
