POEMS FOR CHILDREN

Ralph Kretz

 

SUN

Sun, every morning
I look for you
To light my way
Sun, you hold as
Year after year
Not too far
And not too near
Thank you
Beautiful Sun.

 

BIRDS

In Sandy Hill
How many birds can we see
High in the sky
A black crow calling
Caw  Caw   Caw
In a nearby tree
A chickadee singing
Chick a dee-dee-dee
At Strathcona Park
Canada geese landing
Ducks swimming
Beautiful birds

 

TREES

Small trees
Large trees
Maple and oak
Spruce and pine
Trees for shade
Trees for birds
Trees to make oxygen
That we breathe

 

SOUNDS

Air moving
Leaves touching
Rain drops falling
Birds singing
Children playing
