The Child Within
A Mother’s Role
She administers kisses and hugs before dreams.
Her children are lovable and yet naughty too,

Grand Adventures
Sweet summer time tales
and adventurous schemes
are created from hopes
and fairytale dreams
of little ones
who play and roam
and fancy running
far from home,
fancy running
far from home…

Recycled Dragons
Today I built a castle
with an empty cardboard box,
then I built a moat around it
with books and building blocks.
Then I crawled inside and waited
for a dragon to appear,
‘cause I’m a knight in shining armor!
There is nothing that I fear!
With a little imagination
and a pencil as my aide,
I will slay the mighty dragon,
and I will not be afraid!
All at once a ferocious dragon
by the name of “ This Side Up”
blew red, hot flames right at me,
nearly burned my castle up!
So I grabbed my sword and shield
when that monster showed his face!
I seized him by his nostrils
and I started to erase!
At last I was a hero
so I tore the castle down
and threw the dragon in the box
and recycled him up town!
