A Little Seed
A little seed, for me to sow�
A little earth to make it grow�.
A little hole, a little pat,
A little wish, and that is that.
A little sun, a little shower�
A little while, and then a flower!
Butterfly, butterfly, flutter around.
Butterfly, butterfly, touch the ground.
Butterfly, butterfly, fly so free.
Butterfly, butterfly, land on me!
Butterfly, butterfly, reach the sky.
Butterfly, butterfly, say "Good-bye"!
Here is the egg, small and round
On a leaf above the ground.
Here is the caterpillar, watch it eat
Lots of leaves, juicy and sweet.
Here is the chrysalis, small and thin;
The changing pupa sleeps within.
Here is the butterfly, fluttering away;
Time to celebrate its happy birthday.
Tune: This Old Man
Ladybug, show your spots,
You have red wings and black dots,
We count those seven dots,
On your shiny shell,
Ladybug, your spots are swell
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
The spider in the web,
The spider in the web.
Spin, spin, oh watch him spin,
The spider in the web.
The spider eats a (bug name)
The spider eats a __________.
Spin, spin, oh watch him spin,
The spider in the web.
Mother's Day, I reached behind
Some books upon a shelf.
And gave my Mom a little card
That I had made myself.
She smiled and hugged me very close,
And said, "Oh, thank you, honey."
And then her eyes got full of tears,
Now doesn't that seem funny?
