Shel Silverstein
Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.

Shel Silverstein
God says to me with a kind of smile, Hey how would you like to be God awhile And steer the world? . . . . How much do I get? What time is lunch? . . . . Gimme back that wheel, says God. I don't think you're quite ready yet.
Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
Beware of being the roller / When there's nothing left to roll
Shel Silverstein
Whatever you are is all okay. I don't like you anyway.
Shel Silverstein
