When I Was

When I was one, I learned to run.

When I was two, I could tie my shoe.

When I was three, I was stung by a bee.

When I was four, I could shut the door.

When I was five, I saw Sesame Street Live.

When I was six, my dog got ticks.

When I was seven, my rabbit went to heaven.

When I was eight, I learned to skate.

When I was nine, I wanted everything to be mine.

When I was ten, I got a sparkly new pen.

Now you'll have to wait until I turn double one to finish the poem of silly fun!

"School"

School, school, school,

We're finally back to school.

Summer's fun, but how I missed,

School, school, school.

School, school, school,

Math, Science, and History, too!

Spelling, writing, and grammar,

School, school, school.

School, school, school,

We're finally back to school.

Summer's fun, but how I missed,

School, school, school.

What I See from My Front Porch

Trees blowing in the wind.

A bird fluttering its wings.

A butterfly in the clouds.

The rain drip drops drip drops.

A cricket plays its music.

A frog croaks to his mom.

The sky is dark and gray.

The first star has come out

along with the moon.

In The Garden

 In the garden there are things with wings!
As I watch the flowers for hours.
I look in the pond and what do I see?
Just me!
I hear the dogs barking over and over as I am looking for a four leaf clover.
And how do I know the day is done.
I look in the garden and there is no sun.

Dream in your Bedroom Window

~Even though you don’t have too!~

A Poem by: Jessica

Fall asleep in your window seat, with your favorite book in hand.

Fall asleep and dream of wonderful things:

Of flowers and trees,

Butterflies and Bees,

Of Rose Gardens in an English Mansion

Of lakes and rivers,

Streams and Seas,

Of heavenly fruits and vegetables:

tasty melons, and juicy tomatoes.

Fall asleep in your window seat, after a long day of studies and work.

Fall asleep and dream:

Of shimmering stars,

And the shining moon that gazes down upon you,

Of a fresh new start when the new day dawns, a day with no mistakes in it.

Now after you fall asleep and dream all these dreams you awake a say “Wait! I don’t have to dream up all these things- God gave them all to me and you. To have everyday of our lives! God gave us all his wonderful creation to master and enjoy.”

Thank you God for all your wonderful BLESSINGS that you have provided for me! Thanks God, that I don’t have to DREAM IT ALL UP!
