I've always been a writer and a fan of words. Especially the cool ones like "Twitterpated" (Thumper from Disney's Bambi). So a few months ago and coworker and I decided to enter into a contect and a pinky promise that we'd enter our cute little poems as kid's stories.
Cheerio's has had a blossoming opportunity for up-and-coming writers and artists called, "Spoonfuls of Stories". Matter of fact, i just got a hold of a book (from 2007) that someone was going to throw out but gave to me instead called, "When Dinosaurs Came With Everything".
My book is a slim 320 words (characters) long but i think it packs a powerful heartfelt punch.
I hope you enjoy reading this (soon to your children too) as much as I had fun writing it for everyone:

There, once was a Bee named Cheery.
Her name was as bright as the sun!
The honey that she made was glorious,
And her cheeks when she worked were like a bright, red, plum!
This bee, was way much more than ordinary.
She had heart strings like spiders spin webs!
You might just hear her secret now,
If you jump right in your bed.
“Honey boy, Honey boy,” a mama called her son.
Still looking at Cheery as he held his gaze too long.
Son said “over here!” as hyper as they come.
Smiling as he traveled home, and singing his own song.
“Mom, I met a talking bee, she’s got a great big smile.
“Her voice is soft and pretty yet her colors are in style!”
“Mom, she’s not just any bee, her mind is polished and she’s smart”.
It’s not just where she comes from but she shares right from her heart!
“Really?” asked his mommy, I wonder, what’s her name?
“Cheery”, beamed the 12 year old, “I think your smiles are the same!”
“Mom, I’ve come to realize that life is not just one big game.
It’s special and it’s rare, and nothing is the same”
“Love is love and new is new, the kind of heart I gave to you;
the way I make my daddy proud, when I tie each shoe.
The kind of people working hard to find the cure for flu.
Create a little brighter light, that’s exactly what we do!
“Oh,” said Mom “You’ve grown so fast! I think I’ll kiss your cheek”.
“Faster, Faster, Faster now as a young teen falls asleep”.
Birthdays are really every day, if you make each day your best.
Sundays we can grow our minds, for all life’s greatest tests.
Now you know a family story that was plain as Jane and Pete.
But when you wake, remember this - you’re awesome as, everyone you meet!
