I don't know

I don't know

Let's go

I don't know

Let's go

is his mantra at play

today

it is a reminder

of the wisdom

I have sought from teachers, gurus, guides

and others who seemed to know

where to find answers

when all I have to do

is listen to my child

at play

pay attention

to his enthusiastic simplicity

it is a good place to start

a good place to be

I don't know

Let's go

I don't know

Let's go

and we are there

a toddler's tale

Sticks and stones, songs and new licks
are mixed into this star
cookies and cakes and all that it takes
to bake an inspiration bar
take a bite
a bit of brightness lingers on the lips
like magic words
reveal a world on wondrous finger tips
so here we dance and there we turn
to spin a toddler's tale
hello to all our eager friends
who journey on the cyber rail
