Lollipop Moments + More

I wrote Lily's Lollipop Moments for the kids cuz so many parents wanted to give them my Cuckoo book!  These are for the kids, and the kid in all of us :) What are we waiting for???  Let's Lollipop right in....

Lily's Lollipop Moment #1

It may be

silly ~

It may be

sweet ~

 

Lollipop

thoughts

are

moments

that melt

like

mints.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #2


If life is like

soda pop,

giggles are the fizz.

 

But instead of tickling

your tongue,

they tickle your heart.

 

Gulp.

Giggle. 

Tickle. 

Tickle.

 

See what I mean?

Lily's Lollipop Moment#3

Let yourself dream…

 

It’s the only way to

know where your

heart wants

you to go.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #4

Forget about what

other people think.

 

If you paint a

purple cow leaping over

a rainbow moon,

 

Shout,

“Oh Happy Day!”

 

You found the magic

 in the artistic

way.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #5

With a true

friend,

 

laughter

happens

 

when you’re

not even

trying.

 
Lily's Lollipop Moment #6

 

Have you ever

noticed…

 

The most

adorable,

lovable

things

are

so simply

and

so sweetly

not so

perfect?
 

 Just saying...

Lily's Lollipop Moment #7

Sometimes other people

can’t hear the

jazz

that’s playing

in your

head.

 

It’s okay.

 

Tap your feet

to your own beat.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #8

Mistakes are just

another way

to learn

something

new.

 

I learn

something new

every

day.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #9

I love my cat

because

he loves me

back

in secret

Furry

Purry

Code.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #10

Your imagination

is a spectacular

sight to see.

 

Imagine,

you can close

your eyes,

and pretend to be

any place

you want to be.

 

When you close

your eyes,

what do you see?

Lily's Lollipop Moment #11

New scientific evidence

proves that when you

make something with

your own two hands, you

instantly feel happy,

peppy and proud.

 

I sort of made up the

“scientific evidence”

part, but the

rest of it is all true.

 

Ask anybody who

makes stuff.

 Lily's Lollipop Moment #12


Listen to the

feeling that seems to come

out of the blue.

 

No matter where you go,

this special gift

is always with you,

and it always

seems

to know

just what to do.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #13

Bullies are

full of hot air.

 

So much hot air, I bet

it could fill a balloon

and travel all the way

to the other side

of the rainbow.

 

Maybe then,

they would find what

they are looking for and then, they wouldn't be

 bullies

any

more.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #14

In the garden

of friends,

pick the

blooms

and leave

the weeds.

 

Life

is better

when friends

are a bouquet.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #15

If life was meant

to be

too serious,

it

would be

in black & white.


Lily's Lollipop Moment #16 

Once,

I tried to be just like

everyone else but

I got lost

somewhere

in the sea

of

all the same

faces.

 

And my family

didn’t know

who to call home

for supper.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #17

I know there is a

popularity contest,

but how about

we change the rules.

 

How about, the real

winners think less about how things appear to be

and more about

possibilities.

 

How about, the real

winners do not even know there is a contest

at all.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #18

Love happens

when

all the beauty

you ever knew

suddenly

 twinkles brighter

than all

 the stars at night.

 

That’s why

they say

you see sparks

when you

fall in love

at first sight.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #19

 

In this place

you are always

safe.

 

In this place

we wake,

we learn,

we love,

we argue,

we learn

some more,

we love

some more,

we sleep.

 

Bless forever

our home,

our family,

for in this place,

we are always safe.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #20

Beyond the dark

Beyond the door

on the very edge of

Peppermint Mountain

is a place they call

Magic Land.

 

In Magic Land,

Dreams dance a jig,

Joy sings a tune,

and Peace

holds hands

with every heart.

 

Getting here is easy to

achieve ~

All you have to do

is Believe.

Lily's Lollipop Moment #21

 

The

Fairy Tale

started

the day

you

were born.

 

Sweet Life.

Lily's Life Lesson #51

 

 

Maybe

if you

 put the cart

before the horse,

you will find

yourself

doing it before

your mind

thinks of all the

reasons why

 it can’t

be done.

 
Lily's Life Lesson #52

Sometimes

seeds

like to keep

secrets

and

surprise you

when they

bloom.

 

I love

surprises.

Lily's Life Lesson #53

Thank you for the world

you made for me,

for through your eyes

nothing was beyond

possibility,

and throughout my

journeys, this

treasure glimmers

for me

time and

time again.

I love you, Dad

Lily's Life Lesson #54


I have been trying to find

the words all of my life.

 

Wrap me up in a blanket

of peace and surety

and kiss my forehead

with twinkles of

a special quality.

 

No matter how time

passes, this feeling comes

from you to me and fills

me with feeling

I am always

home.

I love you, Mom

travel down

The path before you

inside her crazy house

next to her crazy cat

next to a crazy mouse.
