I'm little Arianna
living in a fantasy land
with angelic wings as antenna .
On soft florets sitting grand.
Charming butterfly to astound.
Me as nice floral Regina.
So pretty flowers bloom all around.
in flowery arena..
ARIANNA with HER PETS Nursery Rhyme
Micky- Mouse and Mini-Mouse
both stay in Arianna's House.
Woof-Woof Puppy and Knoknorko Hen
also live with Arianna in Knickerbocker Lane.
Arianna loves Gloria, her favorite puppet
and counts with her six pets.
She declares ' They are seven.'

ARIANNA COUNTS
Arianna counts One-Two-Three-Four
while she dances joyous on the floor.
Onward coming Five-Six- Seven- Eight
Arianna puts steps perfect, right.
Nine-Ten danced, Arianna to clap.
Most comfort she gets on her Mom’s lap.
Eleven-Twelve now to twinkle
Anklets of Arianna to tinkle.
In queue, waiting Thirteen-Fourteen
With Mom Arianna going to canteen.
Fifteen -Sixteen then danced, being glad.
Arianna rushed to hug her Dad.
Seventeen-Eighteen next in line.
Arianna counted feeling fine.
Nineteen-Twenty running in hurry,
to stay in Arianna’s memory.

Angel from heaven, my sweet granddaughter
Reflecting my childhood when I caught her.
Inquisitive impressive in my style.
Alluring with her ethereal smile.
Name symbolizing holy chaste pristine
Noble heart, kind, compassionate divine.
A gem! What’s in a name? Sure to shine.

I'm not a fan of today's music scene
BUT if you've never heard Ariana Grande sing
You're in for a treat
Pure voice so complete
A glorious songbird you'll know what I mean
Child of mine believes in me.
Child of mine never leaves.
As I hold her face against my chest
I shed a tear not in distress but of happiness that cannot rest.
Pride and light beam from above
that little thing you call love.
There you are grown at best
I stand to say you are the nothing like the rest.
Again you beam with creativity
a kind that just can’ t be believed.
Child of mine believes in me.
Child of mine never leaves.
You are my light and fruit of strength
with a grace of smile that can’t be erased.
Every step I take is for thee
your protection from me will always be.
Brown eyes so big full of life
your soul so pleasant I shy at the might.
Child of mine believes in me.
Child of mine never leaves.
