    A Magical Tuffet Ride 
    By Lynn Q. Bruno
     
    This Magical Tuffet, made just for you,
    Holds special powers and will carry you,
     
    To a place where you can sit and ponder.
    A place where there’s time to let your mind wander.
     
    To dream and imagine, or just to be still,
    To rest or to travel wherever you will.
     
    It’s my hope that you find, when on your tuffet you sit,
    The freedom to wonder and solidify your grit.
     
    So, park that sweet tush and go where you will,
    Dream those big dreams, or take a moment to chill!
     
    Know that I love you and I think that you’re great,
    But your dreams are important.
    So, sit down! They can’t wait!
