You can be a rainbow
on a cloudy day.
You can be the sunshine
the wind can't blow away.
You can tickle someone pink,
when they’re feel’n blue.
You can share the hope,
that lives inside of you.
You can wipe away the mean,
the ugly and the hate.
You can share your kindness
before it is too late.
You can shine so bright,
even in the dark.
You can bring the light.
You can leave your mark!
Bugs
Crawling and inching,
Squirming and worming
Small slimy friends
make the night life-affirming
Whether six legs or eight
or one hundred or none
Bugs keep on squirming
by the stars or the sun
Whether screams from the girls
or the hollers of boys
These silent sweet creatures
sure bring on the noise
But they’re helpers! They’re ladies!
They’re gardeners and poets!
Just look and then listen,
and soon you will know it.
