Heidel's Marching Band

Little Heidel clapped her hands As she heard the marching bands Monkeys came who were leading With their funny tails beating Colorful and cheerful drums Ratta-tat and Rummy-tums Next up came some marching tunes clarinets played by baboons Elephants marched next in line Blowing horns, they did just fine Heidel watched in joy at those Now came cats, bells on their toes! Heidel's papa jumped for joy Up next came a little boy Playing fiddle joyfully Heidel laughed for she could see Brother Petra winked an eye As the marching band passed by Heidel's dream was so much fun But her nap was finally done Wiping way' sleep from her eyes What she did next was no surprise! Opening her pink toy box Found her monkeys made from socks Happy laughter followed soon Heidel found her toy baboon Stuffed elephants, a toy cat She made them march, just like that Heidel's papa came to see Petra's fiddle joined with glee Everybody shared a smile Their joy lasted quite awhile Heidel's toys were oh so grand Such a happy marching band! Heidel made her dream come true Now her story's told to you! Just for fun! Dedicated to Grammy's sweet angels My children and grandkids Make your dreams come true! <3

I'm so glad you liked it Sara, it was so much fun to write :) I am happy my grandkids loved it, my daughter read it to them. I use to write a lot of little stories for my kids when they were little. Thank you for your visits, you always bless my heart so much when you stop by with your kind messages, and brighten my day so very much :) God bless you my friend! Hope your hubby is feeling better! ~BJ

Sweet :) I love how you made a poem in your comment, so fun :) I love parades too. When we lived in the middle of nowhere, and my kids were little, they had their own parade. Our few neighbors loved seeing them march down the dusty road pulling wagons and waving, it was such a joy :) Thank you for stopping by Gershon, your comments brighten my day :) ~BJ

A delightful show you staged, BJ, with Heidel's marching band. Much enjoyed the happy tone and pure fun you convey.

:) Thank you Vijay, it was fun to write. My grandkids liked the story, so that made my day! My granddaughter wants her unicorns to come to life, she said "That is my dream!" Maybe I will write another story about her unicorns, she has a whole herd of them by now in her toybox :) Your visits and comments are so encouraging, I love your visits <3 God bless you my friend! ~BJ

Thank you so much SILPIKA, it was fun, it has helped me to pull up from the doldrums of late :) My daughter has pulled this up on-line and read it to her children and they liked it, so that made me smile :) It is always so wonderful to hear from you, your comments so uplift me. <3 ~BJ
