Children's Poems V

Children's Poems III These are poems for children and poems about children and their mothers, fathers, grandmother, grandfathers and extended families. Picturebook Princess by Michael R. Burch for Keira We had a special visitor. Our world became suddenly brighter. She was such a charmer! Such a delighter! With her sparkly diamond slippers and the way her whole being glows, Keira's a picturebook princess from the points of her crown to the tips of her toes! The Aery Faery Princess by Michael R. Burch for Keira There once was a princess lighter than fluff made of such gossamer stuff— the down of a thistle, butterflies' wings, the faintest high note the hummingbird sings, moonbeams on garlands, strands of bright hair... I think she's just you when you're floating on air! Tallen the Mighty Thrower by Michael R. Burch Tallen the Mighty Thrower is a hero to turtles, geese, ducks... they splash and they cheer when he tosses bread near because, you know, eating grass sucks! On Looking into Curious George's Mirrors by Michael R. Burch for Maya McManmon, granddaughter of the poet Jim McManmon aka Seamus Cassidy Maya was made in the image of God; may the reflections she sees in those curious mirrors always echo back Love. Amen Maya's Beddy-Bye Poem by Michael R. Burch for Maya McManmon, granddaughter of the poet Jim McManmon aka Seamus Cassidy With a hatful of stars and a stylish umbrella and her hand in her Papa's (that remarkable fella!) and with Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore in tow, may she dance in the rain cheek-to-cheek, toe-to-toe till each number's rehearsed... My, that last step's a leap! — the high flight into bed when it's past time to sleep! Love has a gentle grace by Michael R. Burch for Beth on Mother's Day Love has a gentle grace; you have not seen her unless you've looked into your mother's eyes and seen her faith —serene, composed and wise— that you're the center of her very being (as once, indeed, she carried you inside.) Love has no wilder beauty than the thought that you're the best of all she ever sought. (And if, perhaps, you don't believe my song, can your mother be wrong?)
