Best Childhoodpride Poems


Premium Member The Koala Bear

It came all the way from Australia
And it was my favourite toy.
A beautiful soft koala bear.
He was my pride and joy.

It wasn't a very big bear at all
So I carried it everywhere.
It was actually very easy for me
To hide it here and there.

It was the uninvited guest
Just about every place I'd go.
I loved that little koala bear
That I'd drag along in tow.

He came halfway around the world
Just to be my favourite toy.
Even when he'd lost an ear and an eye,
He was still my pride and joy.

Strongest of All

Strongest of all is the cactus
He who stands quietly and resolute
Strongest of all is the cactus
HE stands neither like me nor you

He stands so lonely in the desert.
He stands so wisely and firm
He stands with a pride of his own
He stands with a pride that he shows

So when you are in the desert, always remember this
The Cactus is a warrior, and he lives in his own bliss
