Can i come out and Play?????

Say, Say my playmate
Come out and play with me
and bring your dollies 3
climb up my apple tree
slide down my rain barrel
into my cellar door
and we'll be jolly friends
forever more - more - more !

My friends and I used to sing this song

while sitting on the steps of

our elementary school.

We'd face each other and

begin to sing---we both thought we had the best singing voice, and I'll be honest...now that i'm older

I can promise you....It was not me.

We'd clap our hands and sing and slap them together

and

we'd be all carefree

and

childlike

and

full of wonder

with no

care in the world.

Time has passed

sometimes

quickly and

other times

so very very slow...

but somewhere

throughout it,

I buried a part of me

deep inside

way down at the very bottom

of my heart place

where only my secrets abide.

A tiny little girl,

so full of wonder and glee,

resides there hidden

amongst

all

the adult like

do to's and worries and dreams.

It has been a long time since I've seen her

or

talked to her

or even acknowledged that

she is part of me or even still alive.

But I wonder

as I wonder...

o tiny gem of mine

pressed and pushed and mushed

all deep inside...

"how have you been"

I haven't seen you for awhile..

I miss your

laughter

and smile

and

careless wonder.

So just for the weekend

I was kinda wondering

since you don't have to go to work

or preach

or clean.

Would you like to come on out

for a bit,

curl up together

sing and clap and play?

Tiny little friend

who I haven't seen in a bit.

Would you like to come out and play?

So after a hiatus because of our "blogger" problem,

I'm glad to once again be connected to the world of words.

It's friday night

and

I think I can hear in the distance

the sound of

an old 80's hit..

"I will survive"....we survived the week

of work, worry, business,

running and romping

and washing

and

cleaning.

It's the weekend.

Now, it's getting almost my bedtime.

It's 7:30. 

and

for this

old girl...

Thank God IT's Friday.....

I'm going to bed!!!!

HUGS AND HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL!

AND

TO ALL

"GOOD NIGHT"
