"But friendship is precious,
not only in the shade,
but in the sunshine of life;
and thanks to a benevolent
 arrangement of things,
the greater part of life is sunshine."

- Thomas Jefferson -

 

 ... thank you for my sunshine my dear Friend.

CONNECTED TO OUR MOTHER

If you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
The sun makes the plants,
Animals eat the plants,
The humans eat the animals,
and Earth needs the humans to take care of it.
So you see, as you stare
into the endless sky,
we live from our Mother Gaia's birth,
and if you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
And we all, plants, animals, humans,
are children of the Earth

Maria Domeier,gr. 5, Red Wing, MN

A CHILD'S HEART

A child's heart is full of love
Bearing all the burden
A child's tears happy or sad
Are real from within
The cry's come from their souls
Brought on by confusion...
They love their mom and dad
But their souls will never mend...
Hold a child oh so close
Don't ever let them go
Unconditional love
Is all that they say and more
A child's heart is full of love
Not to bear the burden
But to love life to the fullest
Ever so certain...

 

 ...I wish you dear friend, a wonderful week
 With Love

"Peace Is... "
Peace is a beautiful thing
Peace is laughter
Peace is love
Peace is stopping to enjoy.
World peace
Is looking at a tree
Watching a spider
build a web
Touching the world
with peace.
Peace is nature
Peace is a friend
Peace is our flag
Peace is you
Peace is me
Peace
Peace on Earth
Peace toward all men and women
and children
Peace, Amen, Amen
And in the heart of Askaban.
The answer is unfogging
War is not the answer 
Peace
Is the answer.

The Unicorn
Mane the colour of churning foam
 or snow on a moonlit night
Like dandelion seed fluff as fine as cirrus
 in the morning light
Each eye like a stormy whirlpool
 in the dark, swirling sea,
Her horn casts rainbow haloes
 which shimmer beautifully
Pearly coat of liquid silver
 like a glossy sheet of ice
White feathers at her cloven hooves
 as soft and quiet as mice
In the moonlight she gallops gracefully
 like a shadow on the sea
With softness, sweetness and purity
 she looks across to me.

What is a Poem
 A poem is hidden in the soundlessspeechless soft clouds
Tossing turning twisting
in the crystal clear aquamarine sky
Look inside a pleasing pretty flower
Climb immeasurable immenseimpressive mountains
If you find a poem handle it carefully
Like a newborn puppy
For a poem can die or slip through fingers
Like creamy butter
And be lost in the dark streets
Look in places where you
 have never been before
And there you might find a poem
Lost somewhere in the soft clouds
The clear sky or a pretty flower
Waiting for you!
by Amber Hickman (aged 8)


Have a great week

Our Friendship

Our friendship is like an ocean
That goes down so deep
I compare it like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.

Our friendship is like a river
That I know will never end
I see it like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.

Our friendship is like a song
That goes on and on forever
It is in our hearts prisoner
That will be free for ever.

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

... with Love

Ana

Forever Friends

Words could never tell you
How important you'll always be,
Just little things that you do
That are especially meant for me.
You always seem to remember
All the things to do.
That makes friends last forever,
And share a bond so true.
I'm so glad God gave to me
Someone just like you.
He knew that you would be
One of the chosen few!



... I wish you a wonderful week
With Love
Ana
