• Chalk & Children  

  
  

  This week’s poem was written by my eleven year old, Lydia Rose.  I was a little surprised when she brought me a poem and said she’d been inspired to write it.  So I thought it’d be nice to do our chalk based on her poem.  It really fits with a conversation I’ve been having on FB about Truth vs. what people are comfortable with… milk vs. meat, churchianity vs. discipleship, ignorance vs. seeking, etc.

   
  The Y Shaped Road
  by my Lydia Rose
  
  At a Y shaped road
  I stopped in wonder
  And saw two men
  mournfully ponder

  I asked which way
  goes where; 
  they shrugged, turned
  and continued to stare.
  
  I thought for a minute
  then looked around
  and saw two marks –
  two marks on the ground.

  One was a dragon
  pointing to the right,
  but to the left
  a star shining bright.
  
  I told the two men
  what I saw
  but they didn’t listen…

  So I had to move on
  to where the throne glistened.

  aNNa’S NoTe:  I don’t know, do you think she’s her mother’s daughter?  LoL!!  Okay, okay.  But I thought it was a remarkable endeavor, and that she did a fantastic job.  BTW, Isaac’s is the upside down ‘Y’.  In case you were wondering.  ((wink!))  And isn’t it interesting that we each drew ourselves in the pictures?

  
  As always, click to enlarge – although these weren’t our best.
