Ode to a 5 year old

Oh you are a big girl now, five year old, clever and strong;

Now you sometimes can tell, what is right n what is wrong.

Growing up means knowing the difference, when in doubt ask your parents,

Enjoy your birthday   with all your friends , with all the goodies and beautiful presents.

Spring

There is a big tree

    In front of my window.

It is full of flowers

    that spring has painted yellow.

Bunny

The bunny has two big ears

so everything around him

    he clearly hears.

The bunny has two big teeth

so that he can eat

carrots and turnips

    so very sweet.

Mallika

There is a little girl called Mallika

    who loves to read books

But she does not like stories

    of Monsters and crooks.

Baby Birds

There was a little nest

    with brown spotted eggs

Soon there were chirps

    from four little heads.

Mom brought them food,

    of grains and worms.

Dad taught them

    how to walk and jump.

Soon they were ready

    to fly

So mom and dad helped them

    to soar in the sky.

Now they are little

    birdies flying around,

singing on the branches

    with wings newly found.

 small verse 

The sky is blue 

    The earth is brown,

The trees are green,

    so’s the grass around.

 Monkey and the house

Once there was a monkey

     who lived on the tree,

he built a big house

  with a big golden key.

but have you ever heard,

      a monkey build a house

like all the birds,

      or even a little mouse.

so this monkey very soon

     lost the golden key

and couldn’t enter the house

     he built on the tree.

God’s gift

God has given us

   two legs with heels and toes,

so that we can run around

   and walk to and fro.

God has given us

    two wrists and ten fingers,

so that we can work with them

     and help ourselves n serve others .

God has given us

     two eyes shiny and bright,

 so that we can see around

     the colorful things beautiful n bright sunlight.

God has given us

       one tiny nose,

so that we can smell the fragrance

        of flowers like rose.

God has given us

      one big thinking head,

so that we can learn about

     the things in this big wide world. 

 So let us use this

      precious God given gift,

and pray for strength

      never to go adrift.

 People

Some people are white

    some are brown,

    some are black

       with a curly crown.

              some are yellow,

                 with smaller eyes

                     and live in this world,

                         on the eastern side. 

  but all  have  the same body with……

    two hands  to work with

        two legs to walk around         

         two alert ears to listen to sounds

               two eyes to look around.

                  same blood, same flesh,

                      same dreams, same wishes.

                          thus though we all look different

                             we are all the same, same, same.
