First day of school

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Mickey the monkey started school today
Mickey was shy but kids asked to play
There was painting and crafts and snack time too
Mickey was amazed with so much to do

The teacher was nice, Mickey thought to herself
She lets us play house with the toys on the shelf
And when the day has passed and Mickey’s time is up
She sends us Mickey off with a smile and thumbs up

One Child is Gone

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

One child is gone
Two stayed behind
One child’s moved on
Two pass the time
With idle thoughts
And daily chores
No longer fraught
Their tears no more

One child does write
Two read with glee
One child sheds light
On life to be
With friends anew
New places gone
And school too
It won’t be long
Your heart is there
Your thoughts are too
We send our care
And hearts to you

Sunshine Eyes

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

You never cease to amaze me, the happiest child about.
The biggest smiles, the screams of glee, jolly without a doubt.

Some people who are dear to me, you may never come to know.
A grandma passed, an uncle gone, your brother whose soon to go.

You’ll not show a care, for your heart is here and now.
You’re sunshine eyes, dimpled cheeks, wonder of why and how.

Simple joys consume you, the way they should a child.
Lots of laughing, always smiling, within your eyes a look of wild.

The Best Big Brother

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Reiley J, Has two sisters who stay,
In his room, For what seems like all day.

It’s funny to see, Those siblings three,
Play games, do crafts, And watch t.v.

He’s never tough, Rarely rough,
And you can be sure, He puts up with enough.

To him we toast, “He’s our son!”, we boast,
But his sisters, I think, Will miss him the most.
