“May you always see the world through the eyes of a child.” —C.J. Heck
Bumble Bee
Today I watched a bumble bee.
He was on a pretty rose.
When I leaned in to look at him,
he stung me on my nose!
I wasn't going to squish him,
only watch and see ...
but I'll never get that close again
to a grouchy grumble bee.
Pretty Flower
I found a pretty flower,
food for bees and butterflies,
but when I gave it to my mom,
it put tears in mommy's eyes!
Why are mommies like that?
Pretty things can make them cry
just like a really sad thing.
Someday, will I know why?
Mommy said as I get older,
things don't all make sense,
but tears from pretty flowers
are always welcomed guests.
Help! Monsters!
Help!
Monsters in my closet!
Monsters in the hall!
Monsters underneath my bed
and Monsters in the wall!
Monsters 'hind my bedroom door!
They're in the bathroom, too!
I know they're yucky green ones,
maybe even red or blue!
My bed feels like an island
with Monsters everywhere ...
till mommy says goodnight to them.
Then they all just disappear.
I Love Bugs
I love teeny tiny ants
and itchy bitsy fleas,
spiders, big and little,
and grouchy grumble bees,
butterflies that flutter by,
and beetles when they run
from marching caterpillars.
I think bugs are fun!
Skeeters like to bite me,
but fireflies, they don't,
and flies that get inside the house
could bite, but they won't.
Silly racing centipedes
and slow and slimy slugs
are my very special favorites.
I love bugs!
Caterpillar
Fuzzy caterpillar
with your million-jillion feet,
how do you know which foot should go
when you're walking on that leaf?
You make it look so easy,
right-left-right, the way you do.
Sometimes, MY feet get tangled up
and I have only TWO ...
Bedtime Prayer
Now I lay me
down in bed.
All my prayers
and night-nights said.
Snuggle bunny, teddy bear,
toasty blankie, all are here.
Out with the light
so dreams will come.
Thank you, God.
Now, where's my thumb?
