Listen to the mustn'ts, child
listen to the dont's
listen to the shouldnt's,
the impossibles, the wont's
listen to the never haves,
then listen close to me
anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be."
-Shel Silverstein
We bought a bunch of Shel Silverstein books for the kids and this poem quickly became one of my favorites. I'm supposed to be an adult but when I look in the mirror I'm always surprised to see that old man looking back at me. I'm still a frightened little kid and these wise words often bring me comfort.
