LESS IS MORE
I thought I had the birthday thing all figured out. Each year I allow my children to invite a friend for each year on the planet they are celebrating. When my daughter....
 
   

HEAD to TOE

Your nose, your little nose,
do you suppose that
you could smell with it.

Your eyes, those big round eyes.
It’s a surprise that
you can see with them

Your toes, your teeny toes.
Do you suppose
That I could tickle them?

Your ears, both of your ears.
It does appear that
you can hear with them.


REFRAIN
Can you touch your nose?
Can you feel your ears?
Did you know that you could smell and you could hear with them?

Can you touch your eyes (ever so gently)
Can you touch your toes?
And did you know
That you could see and I could tickle them.

Your nose, your little nose,
Your toes, your tickly toes.
Your eyes, those big round eyes.
It’s no surprise that you’ll soon read with them

Your nose, those tickly toes.
Your eyes, those big round eyes.
Your foot, your tiny foot Can’t keep it put.
And like you should cause you can kick with it.

REFRAIN
Raise your right hand
Raise your left
Let’s see if you can write and paint and clap with them.
Raise your hands high
High as the sky
And just imagine you can fly with them

Your knees, your pair of knees
If you would please
Would you squat and would you kneel with them

Your hips
Put your hands on your hips
And move and shake them like you really know how to dance with them.

Your mouth, your lips and mouth
I wanna shout that
You can smile with them,
You can cry with them and you can sigh with them and once you start you never seem to stop talking with them.

But when you close your eyes
It’s a big surprise that you can see the visions of your future as you dream with them
So when you close your eyes
Don’t fear the size of all the better days that you can see ahead with them.

From the top of your head
to your tickly toes.
You’ll build a world with skills and talents that you glean from them.
Like right from left
Learn right from wrong
And all your talents they will flourish for the good of them.
