The youth of today
Know more than us
They can whiz by us on equipment
That we built
Survive sicknesses
That once killed us
Solve crisises
That once plagued us
Understand problems
That once confused us
Invade in private places
That we didn't dare to go
The youth of yesterday
Know less than us
They can't understand technology
That we built
Survive sicknesses
That we found vaccinations for
Solve crisises
That we now find child's play
Understand problems
Which we have now solved
Avoided Private places
Which we dared to explore
The youth of today
Cannot teach the youth of tomorrow
As the youth of yesterday
Were not able to teach us
Can we learn from our mistakes
And teach the ones that come after
Or will we wallow in our mistakes
And refuse to learn again

Never
If I were yours
There's so much that you'd say
Or what you should say
Rather, what I wish you would say
If I were yours
If I were yours
There are so many places that you'd take me
Or places you should take me
Actually, more like places I wish you would take me
If I were yours
If I were yours
There are so many things that you'd do for me
Or things you should do
Perhaps, things I wish you'd do for me
If I were yours
But I'm not yours
So you won't say these sweet nothings
That I wish that you would say
Instead I've found another who will say
I am his
But I'm not yours
So you won't take me to somewhere new
That I wish you would take me
Instead I've found another who will and will say
I am his
But I'm not yours
So you won't do simple things for me everyday
That I wish you would any day or night
Instead I've found another and in this way he says
I am his
There's so much that you'd say
Or what you should say
Rather, what I wish you would say
If I were yours
If I were yours
There are so many places that you'd take me
Or places you should take me
Actually, more like places I wish you would take me
If I were yours
If I were yours
There are so many things that you'd do for me
Or things you should do
Perhaps, things I wish you'd do for me
If I were yours
But I'm not yours
So you won't say these sweet nothings
That I wish that you would say
Instead I've found another who will say
I am his
But I'm not yours
So you won't take me to somewhere new
That I wish you would take me
Instead I've found another who will and will say
I am his
But I'm not yours
So you won't do simple things for me everyday
That I wish you would any day or night
Instead I've found another and in this way he says
I am his

This Little Piggy ...
Business is booming on my end! Someone asked me if I could make a piggy themed hat, and sure enough I can! This little piggy is staying home for just one more day, then he's heading out to his new home! The best part about him is that he is really warm on those really cold days that we have out here!
Enjoy your new home Piglet!

Monkeying Around
"Let's Monkey, Let's Monkey Around!"
My friend is having a baby and her theme for the little one is Monkeys! So to welcome the little one into the world, she asked me to make her a monkey hat that went along with the theme. I hope the little guy likes it! (And I hope that I made it big enough! The doctor says he's getting bigger by the day!)

Minions
"It's So FLUFFYYYY!!!!!"
Couldn't resist! A friend of mine sent me a picture of one pattern and from there I took off with the minions! I've made quite a few (you can't have just one minion!) and as you can see here they came out pretty awesome!
The best part is, Christmas is coming up and these are great stocking stuffers!

Settle
Can you
settle…
For
something you’ll never have?
There’s
something that I’ve dreamed about
An idea
really
Of what he’ll
really be like
Funny,
Smart, Average like Me
Gives
attention, offers help, overall helpful
A clever Boy
Scout
Nothing will
ever be
Good enough
for Daddy’s Little Girl
So does this
mean that I have to settle?
Do I have to
settle
For a boy
Instead of a
Man
Do I have to
settle
For
attention online
Instead of
attention in person
Do I have to
settle
For old
stories
Instead of
creating new ones
Do I have to
settle
For hiding
who we are
Instead of
showing everyone who we are
Do I have to
settle
For you
When there
is so someone else
That I don’t
have to settle for.

Life isn't fair.
Fair.
Life.
All they have in common is I.
I.
I am,
The one thing in common between life
and fair.
You can be a fair skinned person
With beautiful locks
Glittering eyes and
A youthful smile.
But how is your life?
It has ups and down,
Twists and Turns,
And not everything is
In black. Or White.
Or maybe you're a life-guard,
With a slimmed body by a red suit
Safety skills to be envied
And a well paying job, in the summer.
But how is everything else in your mind?
Are you worried that this will be the summer
That something awful will happen?
Will you make enough to make it
Into the college of your dreams?
I know that Life isn't Fair.
But I know that it has me
To be afraid of
Because if I know the truth about
Life and being Fair
Then all I need is
Me.
Life.
All they have in common is I.
I.
I am,
The one thing in common between life
and fair.
You can be a fair skinned person
With beautiful locks
Glittering eyes and
A youthful smile.
