asleep that is dream free, So we will be as rested when we wake as we should be, Or will the nightmares come and cause us to stress, And because of the lack of rest the day will be full of stress, I guess it all depends on how we go to sleep, If we let that anger and frustration of the day into our dreams to creep, In that case you can count on a restless night, The only way to see that it does not happen is to make all things right before you go to bed, In that way going to sleep you will not dread, When you wake up with the sun coming up in the east, And your day will start with you having plenty of rest at least, [2] CLOUDS Look up into the sky, There is beauty there for you to see, As the Clouds gently pass by, They move about the skies so carefree, Dressed in the colors of black gray and white, While on any normal day they can be seen that way, But when the sun rises and sets oh what a wonderful sight, For these clouds change in a miraculous way, To all the colors of the rainbow, From the drab colors of white black and gray, To one's so beautiful that it makes the rooster crow, [3] THE WIND Do you feel the wind, Did you know it blows without end, Although you may not feel it, Someone somewhere does you can believe it, It blows the Clouds across the blue sky, It makes the tall trees bend and sigh, The wind blows the rain here or there, As it does the job of cleaning our air, Without the wind blowing this world would be in a sorry state, So for our own good let us hope that never abates, And it blows on forever and ever, [4] TREE Be thankful for a tree, It not for it our air would not be clean and free, If not for what a tree can do, There would not be enough air for me and you, For it takes what our lungs cannot intake, And with that breathable air it does make, So before you chop down a tree, Remember what it does for you and me, And without its help we could not breathe, [5] BIRDS Have you ever wondered what birds are for, They are placed on earth to be looked at and adored, They are here for us to Laugh at with glee, As they fly around as as free as can by, They are here just for us to look at it seems, And to wonder what it would be like a fly in our dreams, Sometimes when I see them fly, It almost brings tears to my eyes, To know that when they get troubled they can just fly way, But when I get troubled I cannot get far enough away, But regardless to what I think I am sure they are here to be enjoyed by all mankind, And to them we should all be kind, [6] LIGHT Without light, It would always be night, There would be no need for eyes that give us sight, For there would be nothing for us to see, For without light as you know it can be as dark as can be, And everyone would be bumping into you and me, Sooner or later though all things would die, For without the sun in the sky, The temperature would not be very high, And without the sun's warmth nothing would survive, [7] SUN'S RAYS The rays of the sun show up bright, On objects being captured by the darkness of night, A fleeting glimpse of orange and red, As the sun settles into its bed, To rise again bright and early the next day, To chase the dark of night away, Although the sun rises and sets the same way every day, The picturesque sky is never seen the same way, [8] SILENCE It is not often heard, And not often is it preferred, For it can cause A eerie feeling, That could send your heart a reeling, It is like a part of you, Is not working like it should, When we find ourselves within it, We tend to fear it, For it is something that does not happen often, For is like being in a coffin, You may wonder what I am talking about, Well it is the opposite of a shout, [9] GRASS A carpet outside for my feet, Always kept cut and neet, Green is the color when it is fresh, Without it the earth would be undressed, For bare is the ground, Where it is not found, It has another purpose the besides beautifying the land, It helps provide oxygen for man, without its help we would not exits, [10] BEE'S Have you ever watched a Bee, To them a flower is like a tree, But that does not stop them, From filling thier stomach to the brim, With a golden nectar of the flower, And they do this without stopping for hours, Going back and forth to the hive, For they know that is the only way they will survive, When winter comes and the flowers pass away, Then in the hive they will stay fat and happy until spring comes their way, [11] FOUR LEAF CLOVER Did clover really come from Ireland, Carried here by A Irish hand, Or was it already here growing in the ground, When they finally came around, I sometimes think about that, When amongst the clover I sat, Looking for the ones with four leaves, Sometimes it leaves me to believe, That it is just not luck you need, But the four leaf clover seed, That way you can grow and find all you want, And not finding them will not be a taunt, It does not matter anyway, As long as looking for them helps make the day go away, And when along comes the night, And I lose them from my site, It does not matter anymore, Only that it helped me get through another day that was a bore, [12] PLANES Where are they going I sometimes wonder, On their journey from here to yonder, A little spot in the sky, Way way up high, Leaving a trail behind them, Sometimes I believe to thd very earths rim, Sometimes I wish I was on one, On its way to or from, Some exotic place, Where I would meet another member of the human race, That would look at me as just a simple man, That needs a helping hand, And would not mind spending some time with me, Which would make me as happy as can be, [13] COLORS Blue is the color of the sky, Also how you can feel when you cry, Black is the color of night, Also a time of great fright, Yellow is s the color of a sun sweetened pear, Also thought to be the color of a person who shows fear, Red was the color of my first wagon A red ranger, Its also a color person sees when they anger, This just goes to show you that colors come in a large variety, But they also could be used to show the unique human personality, [14] SAND Sand is the bases of so many things, It is found in crystal the kind when you rub it it rings, It is found in abundance in some places on earth, And others its so scarce that it has great worth, Nothing much can grow in Sand, Its only use is what can be molded out of it by man's hand, Because man has use for it it is everywhere you see, Just think it originally comes from the desert and sea, [15] SWALLOWS Every day before the sun goes to bed, And the sky turns to a orange and red, The swallows come out and search for food, To feed their hungry brood, Soaring up and down, And all around, To catch the insects as they rise high and sky, As they search out the the last rays of the sun up high, To feel the heat of the last rays of sunlight, Before they are left in the cold dark night, [16] MISS SOMETHING Have you ever missed something so much, That you would give up almost anything for it to be close enough to touch, To fill it in your hands, And to hold onto it and never let it go again, To yearn for it with all your heart, So much so that tears from your eyes will start, They say you will never miss it till it is gone, This is something I believe in real strong, For some times I have that feeling, And sometimes it sends my heart a reeling, The tears from my eyes began to flow, And I cover my head so it will not show, Then after a little period of time the tears go away, And I find strength to make it through another day, All I can say is if you love it, Do what it takes to keep it, For if you let it get away, You might be like me longing for it one day, [17] DON'T BURN YOUR BRIDGES As a sitting here watching the sun go down, If you could see me you would see on my face a frown, For I am not so happy these days, All that I truly loveed has been taken away, And I know in my heart they are gone for good, I know that I cannot bring them back even if they would, For like a fool I burnt my bridges behind me, And by the time I leave this place and I am truly free, The family that I once adored, Won't know me anymore, And I will be left out in the cold, With no one to love or hold, If you have a family that is at stake, Don't make my mistake, No matter who is wrong, Try and get along, For once you let them leave, You will find that you will be the one to grieve, [18] IF I COULD FLY If I could fly, Up high in the sky, I would leave this place, And never worry about the chase, For I would go to another land, Where I was not known by any man, Then I would start a new life, Without the worries of prison strife, And there I would live till the end of my days, Doing what the law of the land says, [19] NIGHT AND DAY When our day ends, On the other side of the earth another day begins, As darkness comes our way, Over there begin someone's day, Somewhere on this planet there will always be the darkness of night, As there will always be daylight, If you want too you could always live in the light of the sun, But you would always have to be on the run, For the sun waits on no one, [20] STORM Let us ride the winds of the storm, Surging higher then the norm, Blowing the rain and thunder clouds, With its thunderous claps that to the ear are loud, To where ever the rain is needed, And the fresh ground has been seeded, Causing great destruction, Or maybe a resurrection, Of the tortured land, By the hands of man, [21] ANTS ARE FAST Ants are the fastest thing around, You may not think so but the knowledge is sound, To get to my conclusion, You must reduce the size you live in to a smaller resolution, If you were A ants size, And it was chasing you you would quickly realize, That there would be no way, That you could get away, Not only is a ant fast it seems to be untiring, Especially when it comes to food it is acquiring, For it seems to never take a rest, When it comes to getting food for its nest, So if you find yourself the size of a ant, Don't take time to pant, For it and would not mind having you to eat, Actually I would think to it you would be a real treat, [22] TEMPEST Ride the winds of the tempests, But be forewarned they are relentless, For in their heart is death, From their long winded breath, It does not care who it destroys, For to it everything in its path are just toys, To be thrown around, Like a bull riding clown, Nothing in its path, Can escape its wrath, So if you see one coming your way, I suggest that you get out of its way, Before it counts you as one of his victims, [23] DAY AND NIGHT So important is the light of day, Without it we could not find our way, Along life's lonely path, From birth to death, As important as the daylight, Is the darkness of the night, For the day warms us, The night brings us coolness, And without the both for them to behold, This world would be either too hot or too cold, Which would make the earth not easy to live on, [24] LITTLE SPIDER Little spider on the run, Don't have any time to have fun, Not when it lives in a world of insects, That are bigger than it and have no respect, For it knows the smaller you are the easier you are to eat, Since it is the smallest insect around to almost everything it is a real treat, That's why it is always running around, So that it is not easy to be found, [25] HAWK A hawk has keen eyesight, As well as powerful wings to support him in flight, It sits alone on a pole all day, Looking for just the right prey, It looks for something that won't put up a fight, And although it will run away in fright, It cannot get away in so much haste, And when caught it will be good to taste, It always seems to get its fill, For it has the strength and agility to capture his prey at will, But a hawk will only kill what it needs, Just the right amount for it to eat and its children to feed, So don't think the talk is cruel, For not like man it only kills what it needs to get full, Then after that it allows the rest of the creatures some peace, For it's hunting for the day has ceased, [26] THE MOON The brightest object in the sky besides the sun is the Moon, It is so bright it can be seen at high noon, But if you want to see it outshine everything around, You have to wait till the sun goes down, Then its glow is so bright, That when its full it is almost like daylight, It is never seen the the same from day to day, So each night its face is seen a different way, It starts out like a ball that is round, And by the end of the month it looks like a smile or frown, But even when it's the shape of a smile its still the brightest thing to see, Just above the tops of the highest tree, [27] FENCE A fence surrounds me, Within it I am not free, For the fence keeps me in, Away from my family and friends, It keeps me from doing what I want to do, All because of what I did to you, One day I will be free to leave here, And sometimes this is what causes me the worst fear, For I don't know if there will be anybody on the outside, For which I will be able to abide, And to give me the support and love I need, To help me in life to succeed, [28] TWO BIRDS Two birds on a wire, Both with just one desire, To live for ever, And to always be together, Can you imagine how that would be, To wake up each morning to see, The same one that was there the day before, And to see in their eyes that you're still the one they adore, And want to spend the rest of their life, With you as their husband or wife, [29] THE 4TH OF JULY Fireworks in the air, Makes everyone stare, It is a date again, That this country really began, On this date over 200 years ago, We told the British no, That we would no longer be their slaves, For freedom is what we crave, And we would rather die in the fight, To give up that right, So on this day we celebrate that choice, And we use the fireworks as our voice, It is like the sounds of the cannon fire, That this country used to show the British we would not back down from our desire, And the British had no choice but to succeed to our might, So when you hear and see the fireworks tonight, Think of what your forefathers went through, To make this country free for you, And do what you can, To keep it that way, [30] TWILIGHT During the time that day gives way to night, We call that time twilight, It is that time of the day, When it gets difficult to see your way, Just before the sun comes up or goes down, And the lights come on or go off all around, So when you see this time, Then you will know that the day is almost gone, Unless of course its when the night is ending, And the day is just beginning, [31] ANOTHER DAY This date is finally over, As I get ready to turn back the covers, And lay myself down, Till the morning light is found, And I rise again, To meet the day as it begins, As I lie there in the bed, I sometimes look to the new day with dread, Not knowing if the new day, Will go my way, Or turn out bad, In which would make me sad, Regardless of how I feel out of bed I go, To face another day whether it's full of happiness or of woe, [32] TRUE FRIENDS A true friend, Will be with you till the end, They'll always be there for you, And when times is rough they won't leave you, They will be there to capture your tears, And help you to quench your fears, They will give you the support you need, To help you in life to succeed, But you must remember true friend needs you, To be there for them too, So if you want to keep A good friend around, Be there for them when they are down, To wipe their eyes when they cry, And to raise their spirits up high, That's what true friends are for, And together through life you will both soar, To great Heights of success, So if you have a good friend make sure that friend sees how much them you Cherish, For when they are gone they are gone and you will be left without one, [33] SPIDER If you're ever caught in a spider's web, Better hope beforc the spider comes you can play dead, Try to hold your breath, Cause if you don't you're in for A slow death, A spider does not like something if it is not alive, So if you can fool it you might survive, If not well, All I can say you're in for living hell, As your life is slowly taken, Till you are no longer awaken, [34] BIRDS AND HUMANS Crazy birds at play, Like humans in every way, Only thing different between us and them, Is they can fly on a whim, They meet up and date, Then if they like each other they mate, A woman has the baby from a fertilized egg inside, A baby bird is hatched from a egg outside, Birds stay together till their last breath, A man and woman in love will stick together till their death, Although both may fuss and fight, If they are truly in love the fight will turn into the delight, For when they part they realize they cannot be without each other, They will hurry back to be together, And decide to make amends, So that they will not part again, So if you see two bids the tree, Watch them and like many you will see, How much we are A like in every way, Even in work love or play, [35] MUSIC Music is candy for the ear, Some songs are a joy to hear, Other songs give cause to fear, For its not the sound but the words, That can cause us discord, It is the feeling of hate that people record, That gives me a feeling of dread, For some of the words that are said, Do not come from the heart but from the head, It makes me wonder are the people hurt or just mad, For if they feel this way always it makes me sad, And it makes me want to take the hurt so they can be glad, Of course not all music is that way, Some music is a joy in every way, That kind of music you can listen to all day, For it makes you want to jump up and down, At the marvelous sound, Music as you can see can make you smile or frown, It all depends on if it was made from love or hate, It also depends to which feeling the artists did relate, And on what was their hearts state, [36] ANGER Anger is a by product of hate, Nothing has more power to control your fate, Great is its power over man, Everyone from time to time will find himself in its hands, Regardless of their self control and patience, [37] RESPECT Regardless of what you may think, Everyone's crapp does think, So if you think yours is better than others, Put yourself in the shoes of another, Every time you do maybe you will not act the same way, Clear minded now maybe you will look at the the people in a way that is more compassionate, That truly would be magnificent, [38] HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS Highways and byways will take you almost anywhere, And once you get there, They will take you back again, To where you began, And each time you can go a different way, If from the main roads you wish to stray, It also can take different times to go, Accord to whether you're going fast or slow, It is all according to how you feel, When you climb behind the wheel, [39] HOME Home is where the heart can be found, It is like no other place around, You can tell you are home when, You leave and cannot wait to be back there again, No matter how far from home you stray, And no matter how hard you try to stay away, You will not be able to stay away for long, For its hold on you will be too strong, You will eventually have to go back home that is for sure, The only place where you truly feel safe and secure, [40] TEARS Tears are drops a liquid from the eyes, Everyone knows they appear when a person cries, Always its because they are sad or feel pain or sorrow, Regardless of how feel the tears will be gone on the morrow, Simply because no matter how they feel their heart will eventually heal, [41] FEELINGS Feelings usually start, Every time we let emotions affect our heart, Everyone has them from time to time to share, Letting everyone else have a chance to show that they care, It is feeling that can make a sad, Now again they can also make us glad, Give feelings a chance and they can bring two people close together, Simply because they share their feelings with each other, [42] LOVE Love is the greatest feeling, Only it can send your heart a reeling, Veiw two people in love for while, Every time you do it will bring to your face a smile, [43] THE HEART The heart is the center of all mankind, Here within it you will find, Everything from love to hate, Here also is the key to man's fate, The emotions are what control the man or woman, And our motions can affect other humans, Regardless of how strong the rest of your body parts are, The heart is in control of them all by far , [44] LIZARDS Lizards are so neat, To match what is under their feet, They can change the color of their skin, In that way within their surroundings they will blend, That way they are very hard to see, For you and me, Les is love to eat flies, Cash them very still they must lie, And when the fly list down its guard, They become the losers reward, For been very patient, [45] EAGLE What would it be like to be a eagle in flight, To have A eagle's eye sight, And to be able to see a mouse on the run, In the bright afternoon sun, To know you can have the mouse your way, As your afternoon prey, When a eagle is after his prey, There is no way it's getting away, So just be glad, You are not his prey for if you were it would be too bad, [46] TRUTH WILL SET US FREE Tell a lie about someone or something, Realize in the long run you gain nothing, Unless you consider the sorrow and pain, That you eventually get as gain, However you look at it when you tell a lie, When the truth comes out you will be the one to cry, It is like it is a law of the land, Little known by man, Liars never win, So why do they do it then, Everyone does there's no doubt, That's because when we are in bad situations we think it is our only way out, Unless we take the out we might get stuck, So we tell the lie and hope for luck, For most people think it is the only way to go, Regardless of who they calls woe, Eventually they will pay the price in the end, Everyone will see them for what they are and never believe them again, [47] PANORAMIC SKY Sometimes the panoramic sky, Can be candy for the eye, The red, yellow, and blue, Are just the right to hue, That sets the clouds in the sky ablaze, When they are hit with the rising or settings of the sun's rays, How glorious it can be to see, And to think it is all free, For all the joy that it brings, It costs us nothing, [48] DON'T FEAR THE STORM In the midst of the storm, Where the winds are above norm, Where the rains, Overpower the drains, An overflow the creeks, And the streets, Where thunder and lightning, Can be very frightening, And make you because of fear want to run for cover, Till the storm blows over, But if you really think about it you should not really fear it, For you are just as safe there, As anywhere, For if it is time for you to die, There is no where you can hide, That it cannot find you, Then of course it was your time and your life here on earth was meant to be through, [49] THE PROPOSAL You are the one I truly adorc, I could not love anyone anymore, For when we are apart my heart is aching, And it feels so forsaken, No one else that I can see, Could ever do this to me, Not only are you my best friend, I feel the need to make you my next of kin, In other words will you be my husband or wife, And live with me for the rest of my life, I hope your answer would not be no, For that will only make my tears flow, And if the answer is not a yes, That does not mean I will love you any less, For my love for you can only increase, Till the day that I am deceased, This is a promise that I will keep, Even though one day someone else you may meet, That you love more than me, In that case I will set you free, And live a life on my own all alone, [50] STAR LIGHTNING Shooting star, That I can see from afar, A little speck of light, Race across the sky at night, Lightning fast you go, In a second you're gone to wear no one knows, Gone without a trace, Hot and fast like you were in a race, To go as far as you can, Ending in dust particles scattered all over the land, No one knows where you came from, Its because in a blink of an eye you were gone, No trace now of you can be found, Granted you did not stay long but you gave us pleasure why you were here, [51] WITHOUT LOVE World without love would be something to dread, In the long run you would be better off dead, That is because hate would rule this earth, Here on this planet nothing would have any worth, Only death and destruction would be found, Unless your mind was not sound, The place would drive you insane, Little things would make you curse your mother's name, Only way to escape was in death, Venturing down that road to your last breath, Everyone venturing down this road would find relief and finally peace, [52] COURAGE Courage comes from the heart, Only thing is you can not obtain it by being smart, Useless is your brains, Rely on your heart to give you courage so in the use of it you will not refrain, All of us must face fear and with it dance, Give your heart a chance, Every time life tries to back you down go to your heart for courage and with it you will rebound, [53] FEAR Fear is a fallacy of the mind, Everyone who tries to overcome it will find, As long as you rely on your thoughts, Realize the battle against fear is lost before it is fought,
