E Is For Emotions
Remember the time that Daddy
gathered the family aside,
and taped your drawing to the fridge;
well that feeling is known as pride.
When mommy gives you a big kiss
as she tosses you high above,
and then squeezes you, oh so tight;
well my dear, that feeling's called love.
Remember when the lights went out
and you fought to hold back a tear,
because scary thoughts filled your head;
well that feeling is known as fear.
When you lost your friend's bicycle
and then gave him yours to borrow,
because you felt so sad inside;
well that feeling is called sorrow.
Remember when the dog was lost
and it was difficult to cope,
although you were sure, he'd be found;
well that feeling is known as hope.
When you wake up on Christmas Day
to discover a brand-new toy:
and you feel so happy inside,
well my dear, that feeling is called joy.
