Tommy thumb
Tommy thumb is up and
Tommy thumb is down,
Tommy thumb is dancing,
all around the town,
dance them on your shoulder,
dance them on your head,
dance them on your knees,
then tuck them into bed.
Fail leaves
One is orange,
two are brown,
three look yellow,
on the ground.
Three are green,
two bright red,
one just fell,
upon my head!
I know courage
I know courage when I see it,
in the face of someone,
who sets aside fear,
I saw courage at work,
in the firemen featured,
in the news last year.
I know courage when I see it,
in the raised hands of someone,
who acts on his or her belief,
I heard about courage at work,
of neighbours stopping at thief.
I will know courage when I feel it,
filling my own heart and mine,
with a sense of right and wrong,
Courage will build my corrector,
as I learn that I can help others,
By being brave, by being strong.
Enemy
Little dog barks and chases,
the noisy enemy,
around the house,
Until the vacuum,
learns its lesson,
and stops growling.
The seashell
What does the seashell hear?
a seashell hears,
the waves flow,
children laughing,
the beat of your heart.
What does the seashell hold?
a seashell holds,
sand castle walls,
mollusk’s soft body,
carving of years gone by.
