A small kitten I am
I look into your world
I wish I were there
Although I'd love to be a fish
I love to tell stories
I love to tell
And the elephant so friendly
I love to tell
I love to hear
And last of all
Now that I have my special gift
I can step out into the world
I am flighty
I am dear
I am free
I can rise above
I am colorful
I give off every color
I am prosperous
People love to see
ANGELA'S CAT
My cat is usually good
Her markings are matched
She does everything
She attacks dogs
When she wants attention
She is an unusual cat
She eats fless
Words cannot measure
From an early age
Before he could walk
Looking straight ahead
I love to tell of robins that sing
I love to tell of birds that fly
I love to tell of dogs that bark
I love to tell of trees that grow
I love to tell of ducks that quack
TELL ME ANOTHER STORY
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I love to hear your stories
Never stop telling me stories
When I was just a little girl
'You play so well', they said
No one ever knew
As I fit together
And as I travel
O Child within
Teach me to know
Speak to me softly
Teach me to play
O Child within
Teach me to love
O Child within
Teach me to feel
O Child within
I loved the smell of the flowers there
My favorite flower is the camellia
Now as I walk about the landTHE GOLDFISH AND THE PUSSYCAT
A curious one
I love to have fun
And play in the sun.
As you swim silently around
A fish in a bowl
A new friend I have found.
Swimming with you so free
Without a care
Moving effortlessly.
And be where you are
If I had my wish
I'd still be a cat.ANIMALS AND BIRDS
Of animals and birds
And relate my feelings
In description of words.
Of the bumble bee flying
And proudly boast
Of the strength of the lion.
As big as can be
And the owl so wise
Sitting up in a tree.
Of the trutle on the ground
And with excitement yell
About the daisies I've found.
The bluebird of song
And see with glee
The rabbit hopping along.
The frog I love
And the beautiful butterfly
Flittering above.
NEW HIKING BOOTS
I feel more at ease
In my new hiking boots
Walking is a breeze.
And walk confident and tall
And march along and sing a song
Wearing my hiking boots and all.I AM A BUTTERFLY
I am free
I am light
I am me.
I am alive
I am here
I have arrived.
From my cocoon
I can be
As light as a balloon.
And soar and fly
And unconditionally love
And continuously feel high.
Like a rainbow
Emitting a light
That gives off a glow.
From the red to the violet
Vibrations of light
Comparable to a sunset.
I am gentle and meek
I am humble
I am unique.
Me as I love to be
Flying free
I am a butterfly.
But sometimes a real stinker
I love her very much
Her name is Tinker.
On her face and body
Pure white under her neck
On top she is tabby.
That a cat is not supposed to do
Like turning on the radio
And flushing the toilet too.
Yet protects my dog Buddy
And walks through the house
When her feet are muddy.
She can be really mean
And sometimes for days
She cannot be seen.
My cat Tinker, I suppose
Whenever I am upset
She likes to lick my nose.
And often talks to me
My cat Tinker
Fills me with glee.
Happiness, affection and being free
I shall always treasure
Tinker's love for me.BORN TO BE WILD
Born to be wild
Born to be free
A wonder child
Full of glee.
Riding a bike
On a rampage
An unusual tyke.
Noticed by passers-by
He rode down the block
With head held high.
He knows how to laugh
And enjoy life as a kid
As he rides on his path.
STORYTIME
I love to tell stories
Of magic and wonder
Of sunshine and nightime
And raindrops and thunder.
Of new born birds in their nest
Of what new life spring will bring
And of turtles that stop to rest.
And of the eagle soaring high above.
And of fish swimming by
And of the swans that I love.
And of cats that go meow
Of the meadowlark in the park
And of a surprised child saying 'wow'.
And of flowers with a beautiful smell
And of fresh new fallen snow
And of water running from a well.
Of cows that moo and rabbits that hop
And of the swallows returning back
I could never stop.
Tell me another childhood story
Your past I want to know
Tell me of the flower girl
And how you loved flowers so.
Your voice I love to hear
Tell me that childhood story
I'll listen with a keen ear.
I could listen all day long
Your stories to me are soothing
Just like a songbird's song.
For I never tire of them
Each story that you tell me
Is like a precious gem.THE PIANO
Before I went to school
I loved to play the piano
And sit upon the stool.
Although I was only three
Coming from withinside my head
It seemed so natural to me.
How much I loved to play
Even as I grew
In my mind I play the piano every day.O CHILD WITHIN
O Child within
I love you so
Each day as I live
Teach me to grow.
The pieces of life
Let me be free
From problems and strife.
As A free soul
Teach me to unravel
The mysteries you know.
Let me recall
Your smile within
Beaming out to all.
All about living
And free me to go
On receiving and giving.
Let me hear your voice
Dear Child within
As together we rejoice.
Laugh and have fun
As I journey each day
In God's golden sun
Teach me to laugh
And live in joy
As I travel life's path.
And to live in light
O Child within
Keep your light bright.
Stay close by my side
And remind me often
That with me you abide.
Live, love in light
All that is real
In your loving sight.
I know we are one
Let us walk on together
As companions in fun.
THE FLOWER GIRL
When I was just a little girl
I used to spend hours
Walking through the countryside
Among the beauty of the flowers.
As I walked about the land
And I freely picked the flowers
And carried them in my hand.
With its elegant leaves of dark green
A more beautiful and showy flower
I have never seen.
Carrying my flowers with me
I can walk proud and tall
For I am the Flower Girl, you see.
