In Memory Of-September 11,2001
Posted by: kindermusikkids on: September 11, 2009
As we go about our daily business of living let us take a moment to reflect and remember and receive a fresh perspective on our priorities.
Re-post in honor of the beautiful souls. Gone but not forgotten.
The day dawned with the sky threatening to rain, the birds twittering anxiously and I, feeling a general unease and [...]
….And Now For Something Different
Posted by: kindermusikkids on: March 1, 2009
Remember the old Mad magazines? I’m dating myself, but there was a comic publication years ago that included a segment making fun of most anything. It could be current events, fashion, news etc. Popular tunes were given new lyrics which resulted in some very funny songs.

Oscar Night
Posted by: kindermusikkids on: February 23, 2009

In this rare moment of quiet I pause and ask….

“Feet”
Posted by: kindermusikkids on: August 26, 2008
Little feet, bare and free
soon to be shod, oh woe is me!
Summer sand, crusty toes
matted hair, sunburned nose!
Feet how they’ve grown
Oh if only I had known

For time is passing by
Feet to small
for shoes from last Fall
A yardstick to measure childhood
-dare I try?
Cherish pink toes so small and sweet-
Lord knows
The wonder [...]
