Books are sage, books are great,
A companion for every age.
A box of wonder,
With hidden tales under.
Takes you into space far and wide,
Where the mind in the moment resides.
The body rests in a chair,
While the imagination glares.
As every page unfolds and unwinds,
The visuals become more vivid and entwined.
The reality around is left behind,
This little treasure is charismatic and kind.
Secrets everywhere,
Not mine but mine to guard.
They trust me to keep them safe,
To keep them locked away.
Secrets falling, big and small,
Like a blanket made of scars.
Each one burning my skin,
Whispered quietly,
Eyes darting from side to side.
Whispering words that no one else can catch.
I am a vault of secrets,
They hand them to me to keep.
I am a vault of secrets,
Secrets that I will always keep.
Time is slipping through my hands,
A tide fading from the sand.
I’m chasing the hours, but they don’t wait
Each tick sounds further and further away
The sky turns dark, blues and greens creeping in,
the light fading, though it feels like day has just begun
Another day gone, still so much to do,
Letters to write and conversations to be had,
Tasks keep coming but not enough time.
Blocks tumble, tiny feet patter
down the narrow corner
Who could it be?
Well, my little brother of course!!!
On my way home I saw my mum.
She was a kind mum.
She was a kind, clever mum.
She was a kind, clever, young mum.
She was a kind, clever, young, fast mum. Ip
She was a kind, clever, young, fast, excited mum.
She was a kind, clever, young, fast, excited, lovely mum.
She was a kind, clever, young, fast, excited, lovely and…
SPECIAL mum.
Floating clouds
Lying on my back
on Mother Nature’s carpet
of jade-green grass
Seems to me
I can reach the skies
the clouds, the cobalt blue sea,
In the sky
If only
I reach a bit higher
I am the daughter, it’s true,
Mira is my name—hello to you!
My dad is strong, kind and tall,
John, I love him most of all.
My mom is gentle, caring too,
Anita does everything for you.
My brother is funny, full of cheer,
Rey makes laughter appear.
My sister and I play every day
Senna brings sunshine in her way.
My uncle is helpful, kind and smart,
Sid Uncle has a golden heart.
My kitten coco sleeps all day,
Soft and silly in her own way.
We all love each other, that’s plain to see,
My family means everything to me
