Collage 37

Watch me I have grown

No longer a baby am I

I’m such a handsome fella

So I was told by Mama

I enjoy being outdoors

When the weather allows it

On the bike of fire red color

With the dragon helmet firm on my head

I set out to explore the world

Which inspires

To see things that fascinate

To do things that challenge 

To touch things that beautify

To let my imagination run wild

Under the sky I kiss my sister

And make her swing go higher

I hold her tight when she needs it

And set her free if she hollers

I let her wear my swimming cap

If that makes her a happy girl

When we are at home on the cozy bed

We want to hear the stories read

I leave behind my own adventures

To enter a world of imaginative wonders

Watch me I have grown

I am still a little baby

A sweetheart of many

I’m sure Dada has said that

I like to tag along

My big brother – but don’t let him know it

When he rides his fire red bike

With the dragon helmet firm on his head

I set out to explore the world

Which inspires

To see things that fascinate

To do things that challenge 

To touch things that beautify

To let my imagination run wild

Under the sky I am kissed

Someone always pushes my swing higher

Sometimes when I don’t like to be held

I holler to break free

To go sit by myself on a step

To eat an apple or to wear a swim cap

But when we are at home on the cozy bed

And want to hear the stories read

I don’t want to be all alone 

For sleep when it comes will be extra sweet
