Writing poems for children...

 The child and the sun...

Once upon a time there was a boy

Who liked chocolate and playing with toys.

To his mother he said when he woke up

"What a shinny day! There is no need for nap!"

                                        

So they went to the beach and played in the waves

Then he built a sand castle and hid in the caves.

Later he laid on the burning shore watching the sun

"I have a mother, but he is whose son?"

An old ant searching for food sat on his finger

While chatting he soon understood she was a singer

She sang for the children who were good and smart

So she told him the secret of a real brave heart:

"The sea and the sun were once a mother and baby

The world was cold, his mother sick, so he thought maybe

If he lived in the sky and warmed the Earth, his mother'd be well

So he climbed up there, gave up the water and his loving shell.

But when he saw the trees and the flowers smiling at him

The birds flying high, he felt happy he wasn't a wimp.

We should never forget he was a brave child and that

When storms come by the sea's son we'd always expect."
