MISPLACED FAITH

One day this boy found a rusty old lamp,
He found it exploring a cave cold and damp.
As he picked it up he realized it’s glow,
A low hum rumbled through him, from his head to his toe.
Curious, he scrubbed off the superfluous dirt,
The lamp started shaking, and he feared it might hurt.
But all of a sudden a genie came out.
It would give him a wish, the boy started to shout.
“I want money, or toys, I could wish for the world!”
As his options laid out, his decision unfurled
“I wish to fly, like the birds in the air.”
“As you wish,” said the genie, “I will leave now, take care.”
Confused, the boy watched as the genie evaporated.
After smoke and a crack, the boy’s consciousness faded.
When he came to, he was covered in white.
He looked for a color, but there was not one in sight.
Suddenly, dark blue enveloped his eyes.
Startled, he emerged from a cloud in the sky.
“I’m flying,” he thought, soaring high above the earth.
With unnatural powers controlling his girth,
He told the power to change his direction.
It did what he said, it was a strange connection.
Just as he started to get used to flying,
The power diminished, and he suddenly feared dying.
He could not control his direction anymore,
He felt like he was falling, not at all like before.
Only then did he realize, his grave mistake,
He did not even consider that this genie’s power was fake.
Who was he to put such faith in a stranger?
He got caught up in the moment, and was ignorant to danger.
Without reliable source, his new powers depleted,
The boy fell towards earth, tragically defeated.
It’s every boys dream to fly high in the sky,
But unless it’s god-given, they will surely die

What Ryan got dad for being his father


Dad got a new folding hammock for fathers day. It folds up just like a camping chair, real easy to set up. Now daddy can bring it whenever he goes on camping trips and look at the stars. Ryan's been thrilled because dad hasn't moved from the chair since he opened it.

Ok it's either Tiffany.. or its Anzlie...
