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

:) 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
