Growing Up

Being a kid isn't easy
But neither is being an adult,
And after long observation and experience,
I can finally tell you the result

Kids spend most of their time
Wanting to be adults
While adults always tell us kids,
"Why don't you enjoy your luck?"

Adults may have to work,
And cook and clean and shop,
But adulthood has its perks,
From the Bottom to the top!

Kids can't drive, or stay up late,
Or play 24-7
They can't do anything naughty,
And no T.V at Eleven!

But being a kid means less work,
And mostly constant play,
And adults have to work,
Every single day!

So as a kid I won't wish
To grow up anymore,
Because I know when I do,
I'll wish that I was four!

Dear Dad: Father's Day Special

There is so much you've done

For me and Everyone

And you are so much fun

Though every game we played you won!

More than that you’ve been a dad

I think you’ve been the best

And even when I was bad

You were better than the rest!

Some others may argue

And say their dads are better

But between you and me

You’re the best dad ever!!

My Parents

Dear Mom and Dad

Roses are Red

Violets are blue,

No I’m kidding

I won’t bore you

With that old poem,

I will write something new

Thank you so much

I really am glad

That instead of someone else,

YOU are my mom and dad

My Mom

You embarrass me

You help me

You scold me

You look out for me

What would I do without you?

Many things

But they wouldn’t have

the fun you bring

Thanks for being there for me

Even when I call you mean

During my usual “Mood Swings”

Even when my room’s NOT CLEAN

You get mad

I understand

I am a lot to deal with

So now you know

How much I care

It’s not just a myth

Dear Mom

Since I was little what I wanted was done

Before I could even speak it

And now I realize I barely thanked you

It’s time for me to admit

Now I am older, and wiser and realize
Everything you’ve done for me

So now I’d like to say thank you

You’re the best mom I’ve ever seen!

Spring to Summer

Spring is when flowers grow
From under all that heavy snow

In Spring the trees turn green and bright,
From fresh rain, and warm sunlight

The birds start to sing again,
I wish Spring would never end!

Until, of course, it starts to get warmer
And much sunnier than the former

This means that summer is here!
My personal favorite of the year.

The grass is greener on every side,
And kids are sliding down water slides!

Go to the pool, and the beach,
And always have ice cream within reach!

School is out, and time to play,
Let's not waste a single day!

Some may wonder which to favor
But I think it's both that you should savor!

Sweaty Snow

The sun shines bright
The temperatures start to rise,
If you look outside you'll see
The melting of Winter's prize.

Green Grass peaks out from beneath,
The grills start firing up,
We all appreciate the nice new heat,
But Winter's not giving up.

The snow's still stubborn,
Though sweaty and old,
While we anticipate warm weather,
And for spring to unfold.

As we look outside,
We see the pressure,
Between Jack Frost,
And Warm Spring Weather.

But overall it's nicer,
Now we know,
For when Spring is coming,
We see, sweaty snow.

Flower garden

Dotted with flowers

Like gems against the green grass

Shine in the sunlight

Snow Family

It's completely white outside,
It's covered with snow,
I will bundle up and make
a man with a carrot nose.

I roll 3 balls of snow,
each bigger than the other,
I stack them up to make,
 a nice snowflake mother!'

I make a dad and brother too,
they're all a sight to see,
But the very last creation,
Is made to look like me!

I give them all orange noses,
I add hair and feet,
I give them hands, then step back to see,
My very own snowflake FAMILY!

My storage box

I have a special storage box,
In which I keep my monkey's socks
My weasel's watch, my pigeon's locks,
and my walrus' ancient rocks.

My raccoon's mask, my dog's bone,
My cat's toy for when she feels alone.

A special boom box for my fox,
This all goes in my special storage box.
