Listen To The Mustn'ts

Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
      Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.

    Memories

    From guest Tony neuron (contact)
    Mr. Silverstein's poetry and stories repeatedly return to themes of overcoming self doubt. I discovered his work as an adult, and he was able to take me back to the important decisions of childhood without panic or "instructions." Just for the record, I think he was an uncommon children's poet and author, and should be remembered and reprinted.
