Four Year Old

Trying to explain 

To a four year old boy

The difference between 

A life saver

And a light saber

Is harder, it seems, 

Than fitting a camel through 

The eye of a needle.

But his little laugh

As he jumps into my lap, 

Turns his freckled nose up at me

And says 

"You can't choose!"

Somehow makes the camel

Seem a thousand times smaller.
