A Child's Spirit
by Vince Ventura
Who Am I
I yearn to view the twinkle of a star
and the moon that shines so bright,
Feel the warming sun whose golden rays
steal the darkness from the night.
I’ve yet to witness the flowers that bloom,
and the morning dew that covers the grass,
I patiently wait for these wondrous events
but will they ever come to pass?
All of these exquisite yet simple joys
make me anxious to commence each day,
Will I ever enjoy these treasures,
no one can really say.
For I am but a vision
a soul who is yet to be,
I exist in the depth of your imagination
your love will set me free.
I anticipate and long for the moment,
when I can make you smile,
Bring happiness and love to you
I am your unborn child.

My interest in writing means I can explore the depths of my imagination without any boundaries. My various types of poetry extend back approximately to the year 2002. At that time, my granddaughter was three years old, and I thought if I could create some original "Stories that Rhyme" with interesting characters, I could entertain her with them when she was older.
I proceeded to write basically children's stories, each one with a different scenario that would be relatively an easy read, fun, and on occasion have a surprise ending. I also felt that incorporated within the story, I would include a passage or two that would involve safety or basic common sense. Most of my stories are geared for children twelve years or younger, but I've written others on a more mature level that adults also enjoy.
I do hope that in the near future one or more of my children's "Stories that Rhyme" will be published.
