Christmas is The Best Holiday!

Ornaments dangling on the tree,

Christmas cookies oh so yummy.

Presents for our family dear,

Christmas is the best time of the year!

That's Why We Call it Christmas

Christmas is only once a year,

A time to love our family dear.

When came down Love 

From heaven above,

A Christmas tale for all to hear.

 The evening was dark and without light,

Then from the sky, oh so bright.

Angels singing, full of might,

On that first Christmas night.

     For that night, Christ was born,

Shepherds bowed down in the morn.

Wise men came, their arms were lifted

To the babe who was gifted.

Love came down, and hope was found,

For He came to save us.

Praise him from the sky to the ground,

That's why we call it Christmas.

Christmas Ornament

Glittery-glowy

On the tree,

Christmas ornaments

Are so pretty.

Shiny-shimmering,

The lights shining thro'

Oh so pretty,
Do you like them too?

Bells a ringing

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa's expression

Upon her face,

Is full of serenity

And calm grace.

There are hills and mountains

In the background,

And a little lake that is round.

She's a very nice painting 

By da Vinci

Isn't she?

Sing

Sing a song of sorrow,

Sing a song of joy.

Sing for a girl,

Sing for a boy.

Songs are spoken poetry,

You sing words instead of say.
You can sing at nightime,
Or in the day.

Sing a song on the road,
Sing in a tree.

Sing anyplace, anytime,

Songs can set you free.

Bird

Little birds, singing in a tree.

One turns it's head,

And looks at me.

He sings so sweet,

So very sweetly,

As he's singing in that tree.

Sugar Cookies

 

Baking sugar cookies

They don't need spice or leaven.

Just a lot of love,

And they will taste like heaven.

Flour, sugar, vanilla,

Butter and some egg.

Mix them up and bake 'em,

And your family will beg.

Add some yummy frosting,

And some sprinkles too,

Those cookies will be amazing,

Believe me, it's true!

 

 

Here's a yummy recipe

It's tasty and easy.

The Butterfly and the Bumblebee

One day the bumble-bee,
Went for a ride in the country.
"For there was so much to see,"
Thought the bumble-bee.

He met a lovely butterfly,
Flutter-fluttering way up high.
"Oh what a happy fly, am I"
Thought the butterfly.


They met and said,
"We ought to be wed!
They were wed by a beetle named "Ted",
That is what I said.

They were so happy, so happy you see.
The butterfly and the bumble bee.
They had butterbees three, in a tree,
The end, you see.



Cold Weather

Shivery-cold,

With the sun of gold,

Hiding behind a cloud.

The wind is blowing,

Just cold but not snowing,

It's making a howly sound.

A perfect day,

To instead of play,

Curl up in your bed.

With a cup of tea,

It's the place to be,

Resting your tired head.

 



Halloween

Jack-o-lanterns grimace naughtily,

Tasty candy for you and me.

Crazy costumes all around,

Houses making creepy sounds.

Scary movies on T.V,

Plenty of of things to eat and see.

Harvest moon in the sky,

Lots and lots of pumpkin pie.

Halloween is so much fun,

And so much candy when it's done.

Determination

Determination:

Striving to follow your dreams,

No matter how hard it seems.

Believing that you can do it,

That you will succeed.

To get  determination?

You just need to believe.

Muffins

Warm and sweet

Always good

 This riddle's answer

Is a type of food

Always disappearing,

When you take them out of the oven

Cuz' this food

Is the food that I'm lovin'

Answer: muffins

Falling Leaves

 

Leaves are falling all around,

Without a single sound.

Red and gold,

And brown and green.

The earth and sky between.

Pretty as a picture,

Quietly as a dove.

That is why Fall

Is the season that I love.

Pie

 

Warm and spicy pumpkin pie,

Apple pie,

And cherry pie.

Pie so good,

That I could cry.

Aaaand don't forget,

Blueberry pie

Custard pie

Cheese pie

Peachy pie,

Pie so good that

I could

Cry.

Lazy Kitty

Few things are more peaceful,

Than a sleeping cat.

Purring himself to sleep,

On the doormat.

He sometimes sticks

His paws in the air,

And sleeps through the day,

Without a care.

Oh, wouldn't you like

To laze about like that,

Wouldn't you like

To be a cat?

Believe!

Do you truly believe,

Without the tiniest doubt,

That you CAN do it?

The thing YOU dreamed about?

Then if you truly believe,

And follow your heart,
Not stopping to grieve,
You just have to start.

Then you CAN do it!

Your dream WILL come true.
It starts with a wish,
And ends with you!



The Squirrel

The little squirrel chatters

As he climbs up a tree.

He reaches the top,

And looks at me.

He chitters and skitters,

So happy and free.

As he climbs,
Up the great big tree.

My Shadow

In the morning,

My shadow is a baby,

Two feet tall.

At noon I can't

See it at all.

For dinner, it's a giant!

Ten feet tall,

And it is there 'till sunset,

Joining the shadows on the wall.



Morning

In the morning,

Birds are singing.

Creatures getting ready,

For the day.

I get up and go,

To my window,

It is all so beautiful,

That I'll say,

What a wonderful beginning.

To a perfect day.

When Mary Comes to Tea

Come and see me,

In the morning.

Come and see me Mary dear,

For we haven't got together,

In what seems just like a year.

We will sit and talk of everything,

Everything that we hear.

And we'll be eating,

For our luncheon,

Fresh scones and tea, my dear.

Then we'll take a stroll 'round Bird Lake,

Which is as clear a mirror,

Oh, we will be so very happy,

That we'll have no thing to fear.

So come and see me in the morning,

Come and see me, Mary dear,

I'll be waiting in the parlor,

Waiting for you Mary dear.



Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts are gross.

I really don't know why.

If I have to eat another one,

 I think I'd probably cry.

My mom said I have to eat,

Everything on my plate.

Most of it is Brussels Sprouts,

So I'd think I'd rather wait.

Brussels Sprouts are really gross,

And I still don't know why.

But I still have to finish,

 Everything on my plate,

So I will just eat it and sigh.

 

Cardinal

 

 

Little bitty cardinal, sitting in a tree,

He turns around and looks at me.

He sings and chirps, so very sweet,

Then he flies away to find bugs to eat.

Selfie

I took a selfie of myself-ie,

And I put it on this post.

It wasn't a selfie of my sister,

Because I do myself the most.

Math Homework



 

I don't like math and I don't know why,

My homework reaches to the sky.

I wish I could bid homework goodbye,

I don't like math and now I know why!

Baby Eyes

Little baby with eyes so blue,

Toddling all around.

There isn't anyone cuter than you,

Anywhere I have found.



The Picture

I drew a picture,

With a pencil or pen.

I might leave it plain,

Or color it in.
I might add paint,
And oil pastel too.
Or maybe colored pencils,
A brown one would do.
 

The Dragonfly

The dragonfly has silver wings,

And many other tiny things.

It's body's slender, and very small,

You can hardly see its limbs at all. 

The dragonfly is such a lovely thing,

Of all insects, he is the king.

Don't frown, smile.

Sit a while.

Have a cup of tea,
Put your wet things in a pile,
And come sit by the fire with me.

As the little girl went to sleep

As the little girl went to sleep.

The stars said "Goodnight".

And the owl perched on her windowsill,

To watch until light.

The bats waved their wings,

And the nightingale sings.

And her babies didn't make a peep,

As the little girl went to sleep.



Seashore

A sandpiper piped along the shore,

The sun goes out and shuts the door.

The clouds  are furrowed like they're all a pout,
And the sea gave the rocks a clout.

Candle

Sputtering, shivering.

A delicate flame.

Pale and bent.

As if it were lame.

Upon a tall,

Thin candle.

Spreading light everywhere.

Yet it is all as delicate,

As a hair. 

Roses

A rose, by any other name,

Would smell as sweet: Shakespeare did say.

Right now as bright as a star,

But will fade away the next day.

Petals twirling in a spiral,

Blossoming beautiful until May.

The meaning of roses is love,

Which will never ever fade.

Penguins in the Snow

Penguins dancing in the snow,

In a hidden cove where nobody knows.

Their graceful bodies turn around,

And the snow falls without a sound.

A once in a lifetime sight to see,

Full of beauty and majesty.



Tulips in the Meadow

In the meadow shimmer-shining,

Were some tulips oh so fine.

They were golden, glitter-gleaming,

Voices singing all the time.

Singing prettily, like the birds,

In the meadow oh so fine.

With their golden heads all bobbing.

In the meadow shimmer-shining

With voices singing all the time.



Purple

Purple is a funny color,

And a even funnier word.

Purple can be a bunch of grapes,

Or a itty, bitty, bird.

Purple is made of red and blue.

It is so very great.
The word purple sounds perfect,
It is the color's mate.
Purple mittens,
Purple socks.
Purple toys, like purple blocks.
All of them are purple too.
Do you like purple 'cause I do!



Messy Paw Prints

Little tiny paw prints.

All around the floor.

Beside the litter-box,

That is behind the door.

As if they are

Taunting me to clean them up,

Such a mess are they,

It is if they are saying,

"You won't clean us up today!" 

And I scrub and scrub and scrub.

Such a mess are they.

But I have been scrubbing all morning.

And it seems I can't get them off,

Today.

God is Love

 God is Love,

and he sent Jesus, 
     frOm
heaven,to

                       saVe us from our

sins, so we will havE everlasting life!


Happy Valentine's day!

Cold

The wind is blowing.

Just icing, not snowing.

My nose is so very

Red.

I want to curl

Up with a book.

With some hot cocoa.

In bed.

The Fog

A thick, blinding, fog.

The air full of rain and sog.

Like a closed door,

Over the misty moor.

After the fog passes over,

The clouds part.

With the sun shining thro'.

Like a door opening.

Pine

A lone little pine tree.

On the edge of a cliff.

With the clouds above,

And the earth below.

How can you know,

To keep from falling?
Do your roots dig deep?
Do your branches grow strong?
What is it that makes you live so long,

With out slipping or falling at all.

How do you not fall?
