Many Features

The Earth has a heart that loves all things
It loves the blue sky above and the green grass below
It loves the families inside and outside
It loves the sun during the day and the moon at night
But most of all, the Earth’s heart loves the kind children
Who run freely.

Forever

I have a hope that one day all the people of the world will have no wars, but only peace.
I have a dream that everyone, big and small, will come together and hold hands and become the family of Earth.
I have a story that one day, there will be a storm
And everyone will come outside and play, sing, plant…
And most of all hope!
Hope for a good life. Hope for freedom.
Hope for the Earth to live on and on…Forever.

Trees

Trees dream about flying and not being cut down
Trees remember their friends that were dug up and used for fuel
Trees move like the people in Hawaii
Trees are the promise of the air they give to us
Trees vacations are relaxing and peaceful
Trees are the sign of peace and hope in the air

Sky!

Sky dreams about being down on the Earth
Sky remembers when it turned blue
Sky moves like a slow swan in the lake
Sky promises to shine bright all of the time
Sky vacations all the time, going around, everywhere
Sky is the sign of fun, always in the air.

Leaves

Leaves dream about touching the rocks when they fall to the Earth
Leaves remember blooming on the trees
Leaves move like wind dancers
Leaves are the promise of changing colors—like chameleons
Leaves vacation every time they fall off the trees
Leaves are the sign of fall…coming

The Sun

The sun dreams about the stone cold moon every day
The sun remembers cool spring showers
The sun moves with the gently swaying trees
The sun is the promise of warmth to us all
The sun vacations on the equator, every year
They sun is a sign of all spring birds approaching

I am a Chick

I am a chick
I wonder where my mom went
I hear a fox sneaking by
I see a cave to hide in
I want my mom
I am terrified

I pretend I have my mom
I feel someone beside me
I touch my mom’s beak
I understand the fox was very hungry
I say I was scared
I dream the fox will go away

A Sad Flower

I am a flower
I wonder how it is to be picked
I hear they want to pick me
I see them coming toward me
I want them to pick me
I am a daffodil

I pretend I do not want to be picked
I feel bad for pretending
I touch my stem
I understand my problem
I say do not pick me
I dream that I did not say that

  I Am a Flower

I am a flower
I wonder when I will bloom
I hear the sound of laughter
I see only nothing
I want to just be free
I am a tulip

I pretend to be happy
I feel so very sad
I touch part of my unforgiving bud
I understand…this is my third time
waiting to bloom
I say “oh I am trapped”!
I dream about spring

I Was Picked

I am a flower.
I wonder what it would be like if I could walk.
I hear the pot flunk on the ground,
water splashing inside.
I see her reaching down, scissors in hand.
I want to stay alive.
I am a flower.

I pretend she doesn’t have a pot.
I feel something cold touching me.
I touch the cool water, and I am very thirsty.
I understand that I was picked,
but I still don’t want to be.
I say I need HELP! The forget-me-nots
hear me,
and they already forgot.
I dream that it’s a dream,
but it’s not, and I think I like it.
