She is frowning and tearful
Up, up, up!
She is now smiling and all giggles
Down, down, down!
She grabs on to me

Moana on every screen
Up, up, up!
Pointing to the tv
Down, down down!
Dancing the day away

I am frowning and tearful
Up, up, up, Tia!
I am now smiling and all giggles
Down, down, down, Tia!
I grab on to her

If Bradlee ruled the world
All sadness would be wiped away

Less fear
More awe

Less pain
More joy

Less planning
More freedom

Less work
More fun

Less me
More us

Less talking
More learning

Less hate
More acceptance

If children ruled the world.

If Juliana and Jaxson ruled the world
Sweet innocence
Blessed naivety
Unconditional love

If Juliana and Jaxson ruled the world
Water balloons and playing in the hose
Jumping in muddy puddles
Always ready to strike a pose
For the camera

If Juliana and Jaxson ruled the world
Dora the Explorer
Curious George
Peppa Pig
24/7

If Juliana and Jaxson ruled the world
“Mommy, wanna play musical chairs?”
“Mommy, wanna play school?”
“Mommy, read to me.”
“Mommy, lay down with me.”

If Juliana and Jaxson ruled the world
Coloring
Painting
Crafting
Beads, stickers, and glitter
Oh, and paint, of course

Sweet innocence
Blessed naivety
Unconditional love
If Juliana and Jaxson ruled the world

Renae Wells

Beautiful!
