LITTLE BUMBLEBEE
Little baby bumblebee,
landed on a willow tree.
With a little fuzz
and a little buzz...
he flew away and said, weee
RAY'S LADYBUGS
Little Ray,
loves to play,
with the beautiful ladybugs.
But Ray my dear,
lend your ear,
for they you cannot hug.
OUR LITTLE GARDEN
I love our little garden, it brings my heart joy.
I work on it dilgently, with my little boy.
We pull all the weeds, and give it all our love.
And then we wait patienly, for the rains above.
THE SEASONS
The spring is gold, the Summer blue.
The fall is a reddish-orange, with a golden hue.
The winter is a silvery-white
that takes the breath away with pure delight.
The golden sun fills the spring,
making all of nature sing.
The blue of the summer sky,
with wafting breezes floating by.
The fall with leaves floating down,
are reddish-orange with golden brown.
The silvery-white of the snow,
warms the heart with a wintry glow.
BUTTERFLY
I saw a buttefly today.
He crossed the river and flew away.
He wore the colors of blue and green.
The most beautiful one I have ever seen.
PLANET
I saw a shiny star tonight,
that gave out such a brilliant light.
A planet there above my head,
that seemed to dazzle white and red.
I couldn't believe what I saw.
I looked up to the sky in awe.
I thank God he put it there,
swinging gently in the air.
THE WEE FOLK
They gather in the night, in the woods so deep,
while all of mankind is fast asleep.
They tell of legends and dance all night,
until the darkness turns to light.
They play their flutes and do a jig,
and talk of folk that are so big.
They are the wee folk merry and gay,
but you'll never see them; they run away.
They live in treetops and hidden glade,
and cherish each grasses blade.
They climb on every cherry tree,
and ride upon the bumblebee.
They are most happy; a jolly lot,
and they tie your shoe laces in a knot.
If you are quiet and still as the wind,
maybe you will see the wee folk then.
BIRDIE
I looked out the window, and what did I see?
I saw a little birdie looking back at me.
I said, "What are you doing birdie?" The birdie did reply.
"I am up here singing perched on the branched high."
Then I winked at the birdie, and the birdie winked his eye.
Then he turned around and away he did fly.
RAIN
I hear the rain tumbling down.
I see the sky so pale.
I love to hear that joyful sound,
more than I can tell.
NATURE
I see a bird flying from tree to tree.
I see a beetle on the ground, rustling through the leaves.
I see a little mouse, scampering to his hole.
Up from the ground comes the faceless little mole.
The clouds are hanging from a bright blue sky.
I hear the buzzing of a little fly.
The woodpecker in the tree, makes a hammering sound.
All the geese from the pond fly up from the ground.
The locusts in the trees, make their joyful noise.
The swans in the pond, hold their graceful poise.
I see the buzzing bee, fly from flower to flower.
I love the sweet fragrance from a springtime shower.
No matter where you go,
as far as land can lie.
You will always see nature,
passing you by.
COUNTRY BOUND
I hear the sounds of city noise rambling and clattering by.
I long to be far away, where peaceful is the sky.
No pollution, or loud noise, no not one sound.
Just to lie in a grassy meadow, with nature all around.
I hear the sounds of hammering, every single day.
How I wish to be in the country, so very far away.
No crowded city streets or honking noise; that's not the life for me.
I just want to be like the birds in the sky, so happy to be free.
MY CAT JACK
My cat Jack
as white as he can be;
I love my little kitty cat
and he loves me.
He climbs upon my bed
and rubs against my back.
A friend to last a lifetime,
my cat Jack.
SICK DAY
As I lay upon my pillow
feeling sick and wane,
I hear the grating of the willow
against my window payne.
Mommy brings a cup of tea;
a calming balm it brings.
I hear a bird up in a tree
as he gently sings.
My aches and pains soon are gone
as I get up to play.
Because a cup of tea, and a cheerful song,
chased the sick away.
WALKING TO TOWN
As I walk down the street
I like to stamp my little feet.
Mommy says, "Stop that dear."
But I pretend not to hear.
As I walk further down
I like to march and dance around.
Mommy stops and stares at me,
but I pretend not to see.
Then we stop at the store
and I dance for an encore.
Then mommy smiles and shakes her head.
Knowing there's no more to be said.
LITTLE NANCY'S WORLD
Little Nancy starts to play
upon a rainy day,
imagining flying saucers
and lemons of lightning spray.
She serves a cup of tea
to Peter Rabbit by the sea,
leaping across mushrooms
and riding on a bumblebee.
Soon as the moon brings the night
and all the stars are shining bright,
little Nancy dreams away
until the next morning's light.
LITTLE RAY THE BUTTERFLY
Little Ray the butterfly
flies up in the deep blue sky.
He flies past meadows and rolling hills,
landing on all the window sills.
Then he flies through the town
looking at all the stores around.
Landing on a ladies hat,
and being chased by a cat.
Then as day turns into night,
when all the stars shine their light,
little butterfly Ray gets into bed,
as mommy butterfly kisses his head.
It is just another day,
for little butterfly Ray!
THE BEAR FAMILY
There is a little cottage in the forest deep
with cozy little windows and good up keep.
If you peek into the windows and see a big green chair,
sleeping in a red cap, you'll see papa Bear.
A cat lies by the fireplace, which brightens up the gloom.
And little brother and sister Bear are tucked up in their room.
Mama Bear is in the kitchen putting plates away,
reflecting on the finer points that happened through the day.
So if you're in the forest deep and see a cottage fair,
You'll know it is the home, of the family Bear.
AUTUMN
Leaves of golden brown,
are falling, falling.
Whispering a sound,
calling, calling
Autumn is here.
Wintry nordic winds,
are freezing, freezing.
Snowflakes on my chin,
teasing, teasing
winter's drawing near.
PETER AND THE WOLF
Long ago in a far away land, when ages still were good,
there was a boy named Peter, who lived right by the wood.
It was upon a sunny morn inside the outer gate,
that Peter decided to step outside, and chance his very fate.
His grandpa always told him that he must not go out there.
But the brave little Peter, really didn't care.
No wolf would get the best of him, and so he took a chance.
And if one happened by, he would make a stance.
Just outside the outer gate, he met his friends, Duck and Bird.
They got into an argument; the silliest ever heard.
Duck: she said, What kind of bird is it that cannot swim?
Bird: he said, What kind of bird cannot fly? It seemed dumb to him.
Peter tried to soothe them both, as bird hopped on the ground.
But out jumped sly old cat, as bird flew round and round.
Duck, she was in the pond, as safe as she could be.
But bird was having trouble, as cat climbed up the tree.
Then grandpa came along and scolded Peter good.
And told him to step inside the gate, away from the wood.
Peter, just inside the gate, could see his friends and all.
When out of the woods they heard, a very strange distant call.
Out jumped a wolf, hungry and thin, from winter's useless care,
who was looking to find a most tasty and generous fare.
Bird, was still stuck high up in the tree,
while cat was on a branch looking down fearfully.
Duck, she was safe, but in fear ran around,
she got out of the water, running in circles on the ground.
Before she knew what happened, the wolf swallowed her whole.
Then he tried to climb the tree, even with his belly full.
Peter looked on, watching in angry disbelief,
as the wolf went on his hungry winter's feast.
Peter tied a rope on a branch in the tree,
and lassoed the wolf by the tail, as he dangled helplessly.
Then Peter stepped outside the gate, as two hunters happened by,
and said, 'We've been tracking the wolf all morning, now he can die.
But Peter said,'NO' The wolf is safe in my care.
And to kill a helpless animal, just isn't fair.
Peter had an idea; let's take the wolf to the zoo.
So marched Peter, Bird, Cat, and Hunters and Grandpa came too.
So wolf lived on many a year and got his second chance,
because a brave little boy named Peter went and took a stance!
