Tower!

"Stack em up!"
She says!
One on top
Of the other.

Higher and higher
As tall as herself,
And taller..
Than the other.

Almost tipping,
Almost slipping.
Breaths get held,
Eyes get closed.
Faces paused,
And hands too!

Phew!
We're safe!
On goes the next one,
And then another.
Whoa! comes a yell!
Crash! comes the tower!

Peals of laughter,
Giggles galore!
Looks are exchanged,
The plan is made.

"Stack em up!"
She says!
And they are at it
Again!

  2. Giggles of toddlers,
    sound like a brook
    Heart gets thrilled
    at tiny hands work
    Let His Blessings
    Be with me lasting.

  3. Ascend to the top of the 'Tower',
    Sporting in your lapel a flower,
    You'll get a feel of flower power,
    Hour after hour.
