Happy Birthday Shel Silverstein

This month celebrates author/poet Shel Silversteins’s birthday! I remember reading Where the Sidewalk Ends many many times as a kid. My favorite poems were Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out and Peanut Butter Sandwich.  Shel Silverstein made reading fun! So I invite you to remember your childhood (if you’re may age) or discover the magic of   Where the Sidewalk Ends for the first time.

 

Invitation

by Shel Silverstein

If you are a dreamer, come in,

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buy-er…

If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

Come in.

Come in.
