Yellow Daisy


A little yellow daisy grew beside the street.
One day, a little boy plucked it from the ground and raced toward his new neighbor's house.
In the neighbor's house lived a little girl with long dark hair. When the little boy knocked on the door, the little girl answered.
Before she could even mutter a hello, the little boy shoved the yellow daisy into her hands and ran away.
The little girl looked at the yellow daisy, and offered it a smile.
The yellow daisy found itself pressed inside a book, where it dried into a fragile thing.
Many years later, the not-so-little girl opened the book, and tenderly lifted out the daisy.
"On the day we met, your father knocked on my door and gave me this flower," she said to two small children, "he didn't even say hello! And it was the first of many flowers he gave me, and they were always given right before he would run away"
The not-so-little girl smiled as her children laughed, and tenderly returned the yellow daisy to its book.

Sleepy Clouds



Sleepy clouds up in the sky,
Hide the sun so you can lie,
Amidst the blankets on your bed,
Where with cozy thoughts your dreams are led,
On wild adventures through lands afar,
Such excitement always makes you the star.

Breakfast


Pancakes topped with raspberry jelly,
Are sure to make for some happy bellies.
Scrambled eggs loaded with cheese,
Will certainly have them asking for seconds, please.
Bacon and sausage are simply the best,
When looking for a meat to put your hunger to rest.
All are yummy foods, and you know what they say,
That breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Running...


Running, running, in the night.
Laughing, laughing, with delight.
Wondering, wondering, how far you'll go.
Smiling, smiling, at the sun's warm glow.
Seeking, seeking, for something of worth.
Finding, finding, so much joy on Earth.

One Little...


One little firework lit up the sky.
One little ember refused to die.
One little fire kindled in a heart.
One little couple that time could not part.
One little hope that they looked forward to see,
One loving family, that their future would be.
