"Remember what Bilbo used to say:
'It's a dangerous business, Frodo,
going out your door. You step onto
the road, and if you don't keep your
feet, there's no knowing where you
might be swept off to."
-J.R.R. Tolkien
..............................
Wake up, Sleepy Head!
For the night is through.
Look around! Adventure's
Been waiting for you!
There are so many mysteries to solve,
And treasure's to find.
Oh, we can seek out a secret
Of the most secret kind!
Perhaps we will find
A Safari at noon,
Or watch a new cow
Jump over the moon!
Or travel through time
In an old Wishing Well,
And put a new crack
In the Liberty Bell!
Wake up, Sleepy Head!
Shake off the new dawn.
The morning is here,
And the night is long gone.
We have Adventures ahead,
A creative cache!
And we've so much to do,
And time is ticking away!
Maybe we'll climb
That one Tree among tree's,
Or find a new word
In our A's, B's, and C's.
Or swim through the Amazon
Without stopping for air!
Oh, you wouldn't believe
All the fun we'll have there!
We might sail the Atlantic
In an old Clipper Ship,
Or search out and capture
A live FiggleSnip!
Or a Tozzle-Moffed Took
And a Green Pflittlefulfly.
Oh, the things we can do
If only we give them a try.
Maybe we'll build a Great Wall
That will stretch on and on
From the halls of Reflection
To the Gulf of Oman?
Or Lasso the North Star
And climb the Great Mount McVee.
Oh, all the things we will see,
Most people never see!
We've that enigma to solve!
To seek out and explore!
Far, far too much excitement
To be standing still for!
So wake up, Sleepy Head.
Nod your slumbering eyes.
We're heading into a quest
Filled with wonder and surprise.
There is simply no limit
To the things you can do
When such adventure and marvel
Are waiting for you!

Well from reading this I figure you already have children's books on the market if not you better get ready 'cause it's really great for us ole folks too.
It's magic it has so much history in your golden words.
I luved it as you can see.
Big smiles,
emy
