Emzi Loves Winnie The Pooh


Emzi Loves Winnie The Pooh, originally uploaded by setyr.
One of Kenny Logins songs that I like is Return To Pooh Corner which reminds me a lot of my own childhood adventures. I grew up in the outskirts of Manila where there were lush green and lots and lots of trees to climb to, where there are rivers to swim, and rice fields to catch whateer lives and breathes in there, where owning a BMX bike makes you the coolest teen in town... Oh I miss the days.
Winnie The Pooh's chubby, innocent and kind hearted bear reminds me of the simple things that matter in life. A jar of honey to nourish the flesh. Loved ones to feed the soul. The air that we breathe. Freedom to run with a heart of a child. I've missed the simpler days...But lately, I've come to look forward to what promises lie ahead.

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered
"Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh
