Beautiful Earth

Like a dandelion in the wind
Or the waves crashing down on the shore
The sky and the trees and the fish
They’re beautiful to the core
Like the frost in the delicate winters
Melting into blooming spring
From the wolves to the butterflies in the sky
Lovely scales, fur, and wings
Like a robin singing sweetly in the morning
Or the moon on a nice clear night
Like a ladybug crawling on a flower
All shining in the light
Everything the earth provides
Mother nature is so kind

Rain Fun

As I sit outside the smell
of rain finds me. I go to

Jump in puddles, soon I
feel water splashing up
my legs.

I laugh with joy.
I open my mouth and stick
out my tongue to taste the
rain.

I run and slide my fingers
on the wet benches. Then
I hear the booming thunder

Looking around

The blow of the wind
hits my face. Blowing
my hair .

I look around me
and see different
types of people.

Some small and
Others tall. I hear
Laughs from children.

The ladybug on
my leg and it tickles
me.

Then I wonder about
tomorrow.

Brave Voices

Once there was a victim unheard
Trapped and enslaved in a cage like a bird
But at one time that cage blew away
Knowing it was her time, her day
The bird flew away to tell her story
The horror, oh the horror
But they found in her glory
The strength that she wields
Her voice and her shield
Because of her, all the birds flew
And they knew
“Me too.”

Sure

Sure, like the wind is sure
when it blows a little breeze.
Sure, like the sun is when
it shines down upon us.
Sure, like an architect is sure
when he looks at blueprints.
Sure, like a mother bear is sure
that her kids are safe.
Sure, like when the universe was sure
it could support life on some planet, somewhere out there.
How can we be sure, but still be uncertain?

The jungle

Take a deep breath, and you’ll see why you did

The jungle is filled with amazing tricks

The monkeys swing side by side

While the snakes hunt mice quickly but sly

The parrots and toucans are high in the sky

When the panthers and jaguars hunt with pride

Oh the trees the beautiful trees

The mango banana and avocado trees

So take a deep breath and you’ll see

The jungle is filled with amazing tricks

Flow of life

The sun is bright, the sky is blue
The wind is cold, the frost is too

The ocean waves are calm but do stay
The rainbow across the mountain never goes away

There is anger and hate, and joy with fate
There is hope and creation, and sadness with frustration

But all leads to one equation
Light and dark are the same, so as life and death

Creation and destruction are the same
That is the equation of life that we all live today

Live your life, see it through
Don’t have hate but joy with you
And see the many wonders that life brings to you

Be the calm river that is steady and slow
Or go through the stream that is wild and free
And go through the adventures that were meant for you

Don’t go down the path that is written
Go down the path that you write as you go
Don’t let anything stop you, don’t let anything make you slow

Choose your path calm or wild
Flow with life as you go!
