My brother and I Guess who likes to build with a saw hammer and nails Guess who goes exploring discovering new trails Guess who likes to race and climb? My brother and I Guess who wrestles all the time? My brother and I Guess you'll never know why I love him like I do 'less you're lucky and you have a brother too! - -by Janeen Brady - - - - - "Hold him a little longer, Rock him a little more, Tell him another story (You've only told him four). Let him sleep on your shoulder, Rejoice in his happy smile. He's only two and a half for such a little while." - - - - - A boy is... Trust with dirt on his face Beauty with a cut on his finger Wisdom with bubble gum in his hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in his pocket. - - - - - As I hold you in my arms and gently rock you to sleep, I try to memorize your face, your tiny hands and feet. For I know too soon this moment will just a memory be. You'll be grown and on your own and no longer needing me to kiss your hurts and dry your eyes and rock you till you sleep. So I'll treasure every moment to have memories I can keep. - - - - - Blowing Bubbles... Dip your pipe and gently blow. Watch the tiny bubble grow. Big and bigger, round and fat. Rainbow-colored, and then SPLAT! by Margaret Hilert - - - - - My Dad I love someone dearly. He's kind as he can be. He makes me so happy; He's my dad, you see. He takes me out fishing; We play ball and swim; He knows about everything. I'm so proud of him. And as I get bigger, I just want to grow To be like my daddy, Cause I love him so. by Hazel Fletcher Young - - - - - Laugh with him, Play with him. Watch him with pride... Talk with him, Learn with him, Stand by his side... Dream with him, Grow with him, All your lives through.. And he'll share a world full of beauty with you! by M.E. Ames - - - A powerhouse of energy, A free-for-all fun- Here, there, everywhere He's always on the run Tunnel digger, Castle builder, Climber in the trees... Frog collector, puddle jumper, crawler on his knees... A handful of adventure, who will fill your heart with joy An angel (when he's fast asleep), That's a little boy! - - - A Little Dirt Never Hurt I don't want sundaes, they're too sweet, And Cheetos are too hard to eat! I've had my fill of Jell-o too! But wait, I've tasted something new! Hey, a little dirt never hurt. Mom says Ugh! and makes a face, But outdoors is my favorite place. To try all kinds of dirt-filled treats, Like soil, sand and bugs - they're neat! Hey, a little dirt never hurt. - - - - - Why God Made Little Boys God made a world out of his dreams, of magic mountains, oceans and streams praries and plains and wooded land. Then paused in thought. "I need someone to stand on top of the mountains to conquer the seas, explore the plains, and climb the trees. Someone to start out small and grow, sturdy and strong like a tree" and so... HE created BOYS full of spirit and fun to explore and conquer and to romp and run with dirty faces, banged up chins with courageous hearts and boyish grins. That's a job well done! - - - - - (Park or Playground) Climb every fountain, See every saw, Dig up every sandbox Till you've tried them all. Swing every swing set. Balance every beam, Slide down every slider, Till you find you're dream. A park that will have, The best gym stuff in town, No one else can join in, Till you want them around. Climb every fountain, See every saw, Dig up every sandbox, Till you've tried them all! Deborah bdpowers@ldd.net 20 Feb 98, 18:37
